this will create a dvd correct? it will need a dvd writer as well? i have a dvd writer, will nero automatically detect it and use it as a dvdrw?? i really dont feel like messing up more dvd-r's so is this info all correct?

If you have a CD burner, and the original is

non-interlaced 4:3 525 line (NTSC 704x480)...

then that SHOULD be valid for DVD-video, all you should need to do is author it. Use one of the many gudies in the authoring section of this site.

although 704*480 IS a valid resolution for DVD video. some authoring apps will not accept it and want 720*480. In that case you could try DVDPatcher, or re-encode with TmpGenc. Again, look to the guides or search the forum for more info.

why not just rip the DVD and encode straight to DVD compliant mpeg for DVD-R or CVD mpeg2 for SVCD?
