Truly, since there is no size limit to the length of a VCD beyond the storage capacity of the medium, you can just burn to the DVD-R the exact same way you would to a CD-R. The process is perhaps a bit more involved if you don't happen to have a single MPEG-1 video that is 4.5 gigabytes in length. If you intend to put several VCD movies, each perhaps 650-785 MB in length on one DVD-R, that can be done. The process is pretty much identical to burning a regular CD-R with multiple music video clips. Just read the guides here, they will take you where you need to go. Don't be afraid to do a little experimentation on your own.

Thats why you shell out for one good DvD-rw and test it on that first, if its good, burn onto a DvD-r and erase and reuse the DvD-rw

Certainly with most DVD players, you can't burn a VCD file structure to a DVD-r and expect it to play, you have to author as DVD-video first.
Also, VCD uses 44.1Khz audio, DVD-video use 48Khz. Some players will handle DVD with 44.1, others not. Many DVD authoring apps will convert the audio for you, others will only accept 48khz audio in the 1st place. It all really depends on the tools you use and the capabilities of the player. For greatest compatibility use 48k Audio.

bugster is right. It takes a little bit more work to convert your existing MPEG1/VCD/DAT files for use on DVD-R/RW. There is a tutorial HERE at VCDHelp.com - sorry if I mislead you earlier.
