Minimizing the game size

Hello. For a TSA project I'm trying to trim Warcraft III down to at least 700MB. That way I can run it off a single DVD w/o installing and with both expansions. All I need it to do is run my single map.

I only have the AI Scripts, Movies, and redist folders still in existance. I also have an empty maps folder that will contain my scenario.

Can I possibly delete Movies (which will bring it down at least 200MB) without screwing up the game?

I'm currently at 1.04GB.

Also, yes, my intentions ARE legal.

EDIT: Upon checking it out, I can't possibly get it below 700MB. The war3.mpq file is 426,708KB and the War3x.mpq file is 373,907 and I need both. Do the math.

Perhaps I can find a 1GB DVD?

Yeah, a friend just brought me a 4.7GB DVD. So I'm good. This topic can be locked/deleted/moved or whatever.
