join two mpg2 into one dvd quality mpeg

[g4zz4]

Sorry if I posted this on the wrong board I'm new but I have joining problems. I was hoping someone here can help.

I have 2 mpeg files that were created through tmpgenc which are the same bitrate & resolution etc and I just want to join them up into one long file.

I've read all the guides and checked out all the tools but I just need to know a final few things before I go ahead

mpeg2vcr - I'm assuming that as this is for dumping to hdtv resolution that I will loose some quality when I burn this joined file to dvd. If so is it that noticeable?

tmpgenc - this has a join & merge that works fine if the files match with bitrate etc. The only thing is that it dumps to svcd quality and I want dvd. Again just how noticeable is this?

I've either read or tried the other programs listed in the basic editing tools section of this site but can't find the right one for me. I need a piece of software that will take 2 dvd quality mpegs and turn it into 1 dvd quality mpeg file (I think thats mpeg2-dvd, or thats how I've seen it listed)

Any help would really give this newbie a great start on dvd burning!

(Again sorry if this is too basic a question, I just assumed that as it was a joining problem I'd post it here)

TMPGenc doesn't change anything about your files.
It does not "dump to SVCD"

Mpeg2vcr does the same thing (unless you tell it different)

Any proper joining program will only do just that....join. As stated, both of the above programs should not change the video at all. Go with Womble, it's much better for editting.
