DVD studio pro assets (cashed?)

I'm trying to output a feature in DVD studio. I dumped everything into it fine, and set it up.

Well, I didn't bother to condense the menu animations because I thought they'd fit full quality. Well, I tried to burn and it doesn't fit on a DVD5, which I want because I'm not paying for DVD9s to be pressed.

Anyway, I condense all of the menus and delete the old assets, replacing them with the new menus. It still didn't fit. So I delete the Audio/videoTS and the MPEGS, and then the original assets themselves. Still doesn't fit.

I don't know what is going on. I'm sure it fits in terms of file size. I was 200 megs over and I lost nearly a gig by condensing the menus(makes me think I should condense the film less but that's another issue). It no longer tells me I'm *** megs over, it just says that it won't fit on the output media. I've switched out the DVDs I'm trying to burn to, so it's not a bad DVD. The only thing I can think that would be wrong is that it is still somehow referencing the old files, though I don't know how that is possible, since they have been deleted.

Ideas?
 
You deleted your "PAR" folders? If not try that...

Instead of bringing in .mov's for menu backgrounds and the like, pre-compress them, or make them stills?

Good luck. I just use Dual layer media and explain to the client that it's needed. They're not too expensive.
