Overburning DVDs?

Anyone knows how much data can be burned by overburning a 4.7 gb(weel only around 4500MB)? Does it cause any problem on the burner or wont it be read on all drives. Does overburning capability varies with brands???
Which is best for overburning? +R or -R ?
Ive have some DVD9 movies with me and even after compressing it to the maximum (using DVD shrink) it just exceeds a regular dvd capacity by around 100 to 200 mb. Can i overburn them using ALC120% or Nero etc???

CloneDVD can exactly compress it to 4.7 GB & also allows you to remove unwanted languages like chinese,spanish,etc.

Ive removed all the subtitles and made all the menu pages as pictures and removed any one of the AC3 or DTS or dolby 5.1. These are discs with 4 or more movies and I think that it itself is much compressed as 4 to 6 movies are fit into a DVD9.

^^ Its better to split the DVD into 2 DVD's containing 2 movies each. That way, you'l have better quality too..

@ Kalpik
How to do that keeping all the subtitles and menus????But in that case these should be no compromise on quality as 2 discs is used and mathematically there is no reduction in numbers!@#$(4.7 x 2).
