Hey,

first 2 tips:
1. Never talk about downloading films here cause it is illegal to do and you can't talk about illegal things on this form.
2. If you got .mpg it is better not to merge them. Cause merging will problably give you video/audiio sync problems. SVCD2DVD will append them when authoring without problem.

I also got a question: How big are your files, the 2 parts not the merged file cause we don't use that one. Cause it should be able to fit on 1 dvd. You only have 2 SVCD which should be about 800 MB each so that would result in a 2 GB final project.

Ok Ditto to what yf2001usa says about downloading file...That the legal stuff out of the way....
What you need to do is.
Unrar, at a guess you will end up with bin and cue files.
Put them into a folder, select that folder in svcd2dvd, select a folder to output the finished files to (can be the same if you want dont make any speed diffrence). Select any chapter point times if you want and hit start.
Should end up with a file No bigger than 2 gig proberly 1.5 to 1.8 gig...
