this is something i found out today that alot of you might already know, but for those who don't i found a way for those like me that where having a difficult time converting svcd onto dvd-r that is really easy. i have been putting vcd onto dvd-r for a minute now, but was having probs getting svcd onto dvd-r. Nero_Burning_Rom_SVCD_Plugin this plugin with let you encode the SVCD (mpeg-1) into a VCD (mpeg-1) without loosing quality. you don't have to do the crap now with the DVDPatcher or none of that. to reencode though you do have to burn it to a cd-r then use vcdgear to extract the .dat into a .mpg. then do everything you would for vcd onto dvd-r.
