What I want to know is I have an mpg1 384x288, 25fps 1500kbps, sound 44100 128. Can I burn this on a DVD Burner (When I get one) the way it is to watch as a DVD, it looks DVD quality on a xvcd. No squares(Captured picvideo quality 20). The thing is i have to split it up on 3 discs (Titanic). Will it work as a dvd if so how?

why would you even bother trying?it may look good to you
but it sure isnt up there in mpeg2 land,up near 720x480 -
Resize it to 352x288 using a method that preserves the aspect ratio. Resample the audio to 48Khz. You will then have a DVD-compatible format of MPEG1 that you can burn. It is not advisable to convert it to an MPEG2 at 4 times the resolution - it will look worse, not better.

Is it possible to make a VCD structre on a DVD Disc with avseq01.dat and get the DVD player to recognize it as a VCD. I dont want DVD quality just the 4.7gb of space compared to 800mb

Yes, at one point I was asking the same question, and I was told "yes, it could be done. MPEG1 on DVD is still referred to as a VCD, but with 4.7 gigs of storage."
I wasn't told how exactly, but why not use an RW and try until you get it right?

It is possible to use MPEG1 at VCD quality (actually, up to 1800Kbps) on a DVD - because it is within the DVD specification. This means that the disc will actually be authored as a DVD, it's just that the video is MPEG1 within certain specifications.
You cannot author a DVD using a VCD filesystem and ISO9660/Mode2 formatting and expect it to work. You would probably be lucky if a computer could play back such a frankendisc, much less a standalone DVD player.
Check the VCD to DVD how-to. It's what you are attempting to do, although your source MPEG's resolution is slightly off-standard. -
kinneera's correct.
VCD uses an ISO/Mode 2 file system. DVD uses a UDF file system./\/\ars /\/\ayhem
