    Hi Guys, I have opened the ISO file of 'Ninja Gaiden Black'(5.90GB). What files do I need to delete to make it fit and play on a 4.7GB DVD?

    Most xbox games have files that you don't need in all regions. There are plenty of japanese language files that can be deleted in NGB. Look
    in the movies folder for files that have _j.sfd at the end.
    Also, many games do not require the dashupdate.xbe, downloader.xbe, and update.xbe files. Getting rid of all this stuff will make it fit.

    I have deleted all _j.sfd files in the movie folder, 6 in total: (pre_movie5_j.sfd, pre_movie8_j.sfd, pre_movie10_j.sfd, pre_movie11_j.sfd, pre_movie13_j.sfd & pre_movie14_j.sfd).

    I have also deleted dashupdate.xbe & update.xbe. This is still to big to fit on a DVD: Total size now = 4.91GB

    There were 3 other .xbe files:
    default.xbe
    NinjaTomoe.xbe
    NinjaTrilogy.xbe

    I'm not to sure if I should keep them but if you do delete them the size left is: 4.90GB

    What else can I delete to get 'Ninja Gaiden Black' to fit on a 4.7GB DVD?

    There are at least 10. Ninja_gaiden_j.sfd, cre_j.sfd need to go. Also, you missed downloader.xbe. All these deletes should remove more than a gig from the game.

    Hi, thanks for the help, much appreciated.

    There are none of those files with _j on the end left I did delete them all. Here are all the files left in the movie folder:

    2_VI_WIDE_B.sfd
    4_VI_STD_B.sfd
    cre.sfd
    d_aruma.sfd
    doa4.sfd
    epi.sfd
    ninja.aix
    ninja_gaiden.sfd
    pre_movie1.sfd
    pre_movie2.sfd
    pre_movie3.sfd
    pre_movie4.sfd
    pre_movie5.sfd
    pre_movie6.sfd
    pre_movie7.sfd
    pre_movie8.sfd
    pre_movie9.sfd
    pre_movie10.sfd
    pre_movie11.sfd
    pre_movie12.sfd
    pre_movie13.sfd
    pre_movie14.sfd


    Also there is no downloader.xbe file in any section. Remember this is 'Ninja Gaiden BLACK' not the normal version. So are there any of the movie files above I could delete? Thanks

    Scrag the DOA4 preview. That should save you another 600MB.

    I did it!!! If you delete the doa4.sfd, this makes the game size 4.24GB.

    I didn’t realize it was a trailer for ‘Dead or Alive4’ because the trailer doesn’t appear until you complete the first section of Ninja Gaiden Black, then once you reset the game it comes up with a new option saying 'Coming Attractions'. The trailer is huge, it lasts for almost 10minutes!!!

    So in conclusion if you want to fit Ninja Gaiden Black onto a 4.7GB DVD you have to delete:

    pre_movie5_j.sfd
    pre_movie8_j.sfd
    pre_movie10_j.sfd
    pre_movie11_j.sfd
    pre_movie13_j.sfd
    pre_movie14_j.sfd
    doa4.sfd

    dashupdate.xbe
    update.xbe
