Need 2 programs;
VCDGear
TMPG Author

Use VCDGear to rip the DAT files to MPEG, and tell it to fix errors.

Now follow any of the TMPG Author guides. Basically your going to add the VCD's from file. TMPG will re-do the Audio to 48 Khz (I can't recall doing this manually). You decision is whether each VCD will be a seperate title or a segment of a single chapter (are they the same movie).

No re-encoding required, VCD is DVD complient (except for the audio).
