Hey CM - sorry to post this here but I didn't know where else to post this. Can you help?

MPG and MPEG to DVD?

I have about 10 MPG video files which I would like to burn to 1 DVD-R, so that I can view the movies on my PS2. As PS2's cannot play VCD I have no option other than to burn them to DVD (I will not chip or mod my PS2).
I have read ChickenMan's tutorial regarding conversion of AVI DIVX/XVID files to DVD and have followed this sucesfully for my AVI files. However I cannot find any tutorials on the site which discuss converting MPG and MPEG files to DVD. With the AVI files (according to CM's tute) I first had to encode the files to seperate MPV and AC3 files and then run them through TMPGEnc DVD Author. Is there a similiar way to split MPG's and MPEG's into MPV and AC3 files for use with TDA? If there is, can someone give me full instructions on how this is done naming which programs I need to be using to do this? If there is a tute available, please just point me in the right direction. Thanks.

If MPEG1 (VCD style) then TMPGEnc can Demux them to video & audio streams (Files/MPEG Tools/Simple Demux). Then you need to convert the audio to 48khz and best to AC3. Goldwave can Resample the mp2 audio file to 48khz, then save as a WAV and convert the wav to AC3 as per the Tutes. The picture size of a VCD (352x240/288) is a dvd specified size so the video needs nothing done to it.

If they are MPEG2 files (such as SVCD's) then they need to be Dumux as above and the audio converted also (many SVCD's already have 48khz audio though) The pic size of a SVCD at 480x480/576 is NOT a dvd standard and TMPGenc DVD Author my buck at it. Best here to use is DVDLab which will warn you of the non-compliance but still allow it to be authored. In fact you may be able to load the MPEG file directly into DVDLab and it will convert the audio automatically for you but with the MP2 audio, not AC3. If they are NTSC then MP2 audio is NOT a DVD standard (but is for PAL) and it may not play.
