mpeg-1 files combined into single Mac DVD-R burner

[biohacker]

I am interested in combining several mpeg-1 video files that I have in PC format and converting them into a single DVD-R using a Mac DVD burner at work. I think that I have to somehow convert them from the mpeg-1 files to .mov format but I am unsure how to do this.

I have access to a PC version of Adobe Premiere, a Mac DVD-R drive, but I do not have quicktime pro on PC or Mac. On the Mac, I have iMovie and iDVD.

I would welcome any help in burning this DVD-R with several mpeg-1 phones.

Thanks,

If you want to author DVDs with iMovie, they will have to be converted to Quicktime's DV container in order to be imported into iMovie. Furthermore, I believe iMovie requires these new DV files to be chunked into 9 minute segments.

If your MPEG-1 files were authored to DVD spec on the PC (25 or 29.97 fps, 352x240/288, bitrate < 1.8Mbps with audio sampled at 48kHz and the correct GOP size), these files, when demultiplexed, will import directly into Apple DVD Studio Pro (the pro counterpart to iMovie) without need to re-encode or save into Quicktime containers.
