You might need the Nero MPEG2 plugin

Nero can do what you want, but it is like cutting down a tree with a butter knife. It's not the right tool. Use virtualdub, or tmpgenc, or any other real encoding software. Even convertxtodvd is better than nero...

Ok, this is a really stupid question... but since VCD and SVCD are CD-R formats... are you sure you have selected your DVD drive? Are you sure it BURNS DVDs and not just reads them (like my work laptop does)?
