Do you loose quality when putting mpeg2 files on a dvd-r....

[smokedvw]

I have made mpeg2 files (svcd) but for some reason vcdeasy wont let me combine like 15 250mb files it gets integer errors.
So my player can play just mpg files on a disc so will i loose quality if i just put all 15 files on a dvd-r and not make it a svcd?
Also will the timing go out of sync or anything funny like that?
THanks

Theres only one way to find out for sure and I think you can probably work out what it is!

BTW, you can't actually burn (S)VCD to DVD-r, though you can author VCD or SVCD standard video to DVD-viode format, with a little work.
