SVCD to some sort of DVD Format?

[-Elder-]

31 y/o newb to all this stuff.

I've successfully burned VCD's for play on my Sony 400NS. However, it doesn't play SVCD's.

I recently downloaded 4 nice little SVCD's. I can view the MPG file with PowerDVD no problem.

My question is, can I take that MPG file and some how burn it into a format on DVD that my DVD player will accept?

I have access to both a Pioneer A03 as well as a Panasonic DMR-E20K/S (forget which exact model - http://www.prodcat.panasonic.com/shop/listmodels.asp?categoryid=1375&CategoryDesc=DVD+...ideo+Recorders - one of those 2)

What I would like to do is create a "pop in and play DVD" - nothing fancy, just go. I know at this point, I could just burn the MPG's to a DVD-R, and just play them in my computer's DVD player using PowerDVD to read the media files.

I looked pretty far back, and didn't see any posts asking this sort of question, and the guides that I saw, didn't cover this "area" as well.

Basically, I don't want it to be VCD/SVCD format/layou on the CD. I would like to take the MPG's as is, and "author" (? - that right) them onto a DVD-R, in one long fat file, that I can pop into the DVD player and watch it.

We also have a pretty decent video editing suite at work

You can either convert the SVCD into a VCD, see the guides

or you can convert into DVD, again I think Baldrick has a guide for this now, not sure.

Give the "How To" section a very good thorough reading.

Best is to convert to compliant dvd format
www.vcdhelp.com/mpeg2tovcd.htm and choose the dvd ntsc template instead of vcd.
Or you could make a xDVD that may work but it doesnt require any reencoding of the video
