Hello, I recently received a DVD of my friends wedding. It is approximately 6+ GB. I have Mac The Ripper and only want to make a copy of the title screen, chapters, and movies. I think there may be outtakes such as interviews and non-wedding related things. Any way I can fit all this stuff on one single 4.7 GB DVD? When I choose "Full Disc Extraction" the DVD is a 6.7 GB but I do not have blank DVD's that large. Do I select "Main Feature Extraction"? Will that get what I am looking for?

Well, if you burn the resulting VIDEO_TS folder with an app like Roxio's Popcorn, it can compress it to fit on a single layer DVD.

You can use IFOEdit on Windows to cut out the parts you don't want and create a new DVD with new IFO files, but short of that your best bet would be to compress the DVD into a smaller size using a tool such as DVD2One. You'll lose quality with this route, but to my knowledge there is no IFOEdit equivalent on the Mac, unfortunately.

(If you have an Intel Mac, you could run IFOEdit under Wine, a VM, or under native Windows though, of course... IFOEdit is free).

Will Toast compress the video down to under 4.7 gig?

Yes as long as you select the Fit to Disc checkmark.

Toast is also selling for $80, so the OP will have to factor this in to his/her decision (there are free alternatives that will do the same thing, namely Handbrake/ffMPEGX. mkisofs will create your ISO image for you if necessary)
