I converted to an svcd .mpg with TMPG because if i convert to dvd it's breaks it up into 2 files.

Well there is your problem DVD does not support the SVCD resolution. Why couldn't you lower the bitrate for DVD so it would fit on 1 disc ?.

This link may help you to make a SVCD-DVD. But it may not work on your player.

If you still have the original source video, I would reencode to something that is DVD compliant.

The official (legal) resolutions for optical media are:

720 X 576 (480 NTSC). Used by most DVD.
704 X 576 (480 NTSC). Used by some DVD
480 X 576 (480 NTSC). Used by SVCD
352 X 576 (480 NTSC). Used by DVD and China Video Disc (CVD). It is also the "official" SVHS resolution.
352 X 288 (240 NTSC). Used by VCD and DVD. It is also the "official" VHS resolution
