Assuming that you converted your file correctly, you can try authoring your dvd using this guide: http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/nero-dvdburn.htm

Can you play your mpeg? Exactly how did you create it? What does avicodec say about the properties of your mpeg? Test it and find out.

Alternatively you can try authoring with something like Tmpgenc DVD Author, newbie friendly and it has a free trial period. Look it up in the guides section (over there <--) for instructions.

Other than complaining, you've given very few details and it makes it very hard to help. The more detail you provide, the better answers you'll get.

honey7568,

You might want to consider using a different burning software instead of Nero. There has been issues burning DVD with Nero.

As for your comment about "i tried to burn it but it says that i have no audio or video". Are you movie files put into a folder called VIDEO_TS? If not then create a folder (i.e. HOMEMovies) then within the HOMEMovies folder create a folder called VIDEO_TS and create another folder called AUDIO_TS. Put your movie files into the VIDEO_TS folder and do not put any files into the AUDIO_TS folder. See http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/nero-dvdburn.htm for an example. Now try burning with Nero.
