mpeg -> dvd - audio problems

[Idiot Newbie]

ok people - here is your chance to smirk quietly to yourselves about the imbecilic failings of a newbie

i have sixty-odd mpegs that i would like to combine in to one file and write to dvd. now, the video side of things is fine, with dextrous use of sizzle and dvd2one and after hours of blundering trial and error i can combine the whole lot in fine fashion, and they all playback in a most pleasing manner - apart from the fact that the audio does not work on certain files, and here's the problem:

across the assortment of mpegs there are varying (about eight or so) different combinations of bit rates and sample rates, and clearly one one combination is working with dvd2one (all the converted vob's play fine in VLC, with luxuriant audio in place), sooooooo - is there an easy way to convert all the files to having one uniform set of audio parameters (having first found out which one works properly), so the whole lot can then but burned to disc, and i can enjoy the endeavours of many seemly young ladies disporting themselves in a lewd fashion complete with the sound effects that the producers intended (you try watching porn with the sound muted - it's just not as good as it should be) ?

please feel free to now commence patronising chuckling...but any advice would be very much appreciated, as this is driving me up the wall !

oh - and bearing in mind my cretinous nature - please illuminate any ostensibly simple instructions like "demux the file, alter the rates and then remux them" with details that someone with an IQ of about twelve or so can understand - thank 'ee kindly....

All your MPEGs must be DVD-compliant - check out https://www.videohelp.com/dvd for the DVD specs. If you have some MPEGs that aren't DVD-compliant, you need to convert them using an encoder so that they are.

You can do this "the manual way" using http://members.dodo.net.au/~jimmalenko/AVI2DVD.htm and then author using authoring software like TMPGEnc DVD Author (30 day fully functional free trial), or the freeware GUI for DVDAuthor or DVDauthorgui, or you could use an all-in-one like DivXToDVD, which will encode and author in the one step for you.

All you've got to do is add all the files (highlight the first file, then hold Ctrl down and click on the last file to highlight all files inbetween) and it should make each file as a seperate title, playing one after the other by default, or accessible to you by clicking the skip title button on your remote. If you wanted to get really fancy you could import DivXToDVD's output into TMPGEnc DVD Author and make yourself menus, or group certain files together so that they act like chapters in the one title.
