My suggestion would be to use tmpgenc dvd author, what error message is it giving you ?

when i add each mpeg i get the message the gop lengh is to long or something similar i then have 2 options to ignore it or to cancel it

[propagandhi]

ignore it, it will still work

yes, it should work on most dvd players.

If you have a concern about it though, there is a simple way to correct the GOP sequence.

Open the file in TMPGEnc using File>MPEG Tools>Merge & Cut. Then select Type = MPEG-2 Program (VBR) and save new file. (you can also use type = MPEG-1 Video CD....as I suspect your files are MPG1)

this should correct the GOP sequence and eliminate the error message

An alternative is to just copy the files to DVD as data files. Some dvd players can play these directly. You can find out wich ones under dvdplayers> search on mpeg iso compliant

I use recordnow dx to do this.
