MPEG-1 on a DVD Disc?

[Papa Lazarou]

Is it possible to put a MPEG-1 file converted using TMPGEnc, onto a DVD Disc (that'll work on my DVD player) without having to re-encode it?

Cheers.

Yep, VCD resolution mpeg-1 at up to 1.85Mbits is valid for DVD. The audio must be at 48khz sample rate tho. Take a look here:https://www.videohelp.com/dvd and scroll down to the Technical info bit.

Thanks for the info mate. much appreciated!

If you're lucky, you can even put the mpg file without any alterning directly onto a DVD ISO disk like mp3 or jpeg).If your player can do this, you save a lot of time,Try this first with a DVD RW.

I've got a Philips DVD-Recorder which plays anything I wing it's way, so maybe that will play it. I'll try on a DVD-RW first of course.

Thanks again.

Any tips on how I should burn this MPEG-1 file to DVD-RW using Nero?

You can't use Nero standard if you want to make a DVD-Video that should work on most DVD Players. You must author it, www.dvdrhelp.com/author#dvd and www.dvdrhelp.com/tools.php#DVD%20Author

That's right for most players, but you can use NERO in ISO mode anytime, if your player supports direct mpeg files.I just tested that yesterday.
