MPEG-1 on DVD... how?

[jgl24]

if you click on DVDRW on the left hand column of
this page, it will tell you in the dialog that
you can put MPEG-1 on a DVD for several hours of
playback...

How do I do it? What software do I have to use?

Also, I'd like to try any DVD-authoring software
there is... can anybody give me some links to
trial versions? Thanks.

you need dvd rom to read the disk

or dvd burner to reconize the diffrent format

The trialware of DVDit and MyDVD can be found here:

Spruceup might be available on the net somewhere as the site wasn't working last time I looked;
normally you would find it:

Thanks for the links, aldus...

I forgot to ask, will it (mpeg-1 on a DVD) play in
a stand-alone DVD player?

It should play brilliantly on a standalone DVD player. Make supersure your audio is encoded at 48kHz, and your GOP size is, I think 15, or less.

Lately my cracked SpruceUp has been rejecting MPEG-1 352x240 files. It seems more keen on MPEG-1/2 at *x480. I'm really hurt. I'd like to make a VBR MPEG-1 using Sefy's templates and burn it as a miniDVD ... yes, a whole lengthy movie on CD-R in miniDVD format with entrypoints and a menu. Now that would be really cool ... but my Spruce wont accept my 352x240 files

@jgl24

As AntnyMD said it should play fine. By the way you can combine on SpruceUp mpeg1 and mpeg2 clips. DVDit and MyDVD won't let you combine different mpeg formats.

@AntnyMD

How strange. Mpeg1 @ 352 x 288 (PAL) work fine on my version.
Other question: Have you tried using the DVD authoring software called DVDtoolbox? I recently got hold of it and wanted to hear from others if they had any good/bad experiences.
