DVD-R Burning

[swanside]

Please Help??????
I have ripped a dvd to my hard drive using smartripper.
The DVD is region 1 but how do I do the Following.
1, Make multi Region.
2, Burn to a DVD-R to play in a General DVD player.

With Thanks
Paul.

First you need a DVD-R/RW burning drive.
Then you need to take your ripped vobs and stick them in a program to burn them in (assuming that your vobs will fit on the blank media). Such as Nero, or even MyDVD. If your vob will not fit, it'll have to be trimmed down a bit.
I think that region encoding is done within a program, so to make it all-region, you'd have to recompile it(?) by splitting it up, like you were making a (s)VCD and authoring it all over again.

I have ripped it again using DVD Decrypter and in a folder I now have the Following

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_02_2.VOB
VTS_02_3.VOB
VTS_02_4.VOB
VTS_02_5.VOB
VTS_02_6.VOB

but they all amount up to 4.69 GB

Any Ideas on how to cut out the crap that I dont need?
or to make them smaller to fit onto a DVD-R
