Help IFO guides confusing the hell outa me

[Amish Electrician]

Ok im trying to copy a dvd9 so obviously the video is larger than my disc. Even after i follow the instructions listed in IfoEdit's guide listed under Copy a DVD-9 (> 4.38 GB) to DVD-R keeping the original Menu, and I strip out all the extras, my file is still 5.19 Gigs. After stripping out the extras, the next step on the Ifo guide is to hit VOB Extras and all of the menus from there make no sense to me. It does not give a clear, defined 'click these buttons' and go to the next step. None of these processes seem to shrink the video down, which would be re-muxing. I attempted to use reMpeg, but it does not work. What can I do to shrink the size of the video so I can fit it on a DVD?
