Any way to squeeze a bit extra when burning a DVD

I'm trying to burn a TV series of XVID files onto 1 DVD but I am annoyingly 50 MB over. Available space reads 4483 MB so I suppose the files are 4533 Mb(on that note is there an easy way to see how big a folder is in Explorer)
Other than deleting an episode is there a way to get the whole series on one DVD?
Hope someone can help

I can help - although my suggestion is a tad long winded...if you use TMPGEnc (it's free - Google for it), you should be able to convert your XVid files to MPG, and you can tinker with the audio/video bitrate a little to bring the finished filesize down. If you're cunning you should be able to pack it down a bit without noticeably losing any quality...
Also, if you convert all of them, you could even burn them onto a DVD in VCD format, and that way you'll be able to watch them on most DVD players too!!!0
