SVCD2DVD (in jagabo's link) is not freeware, but it is the simplest way to do it. I used it once and it works. Most DVD authoring programs will reject MPEG-1 video, even though anything valid for VCD is OK according to the DVD specs. Note that the audio has to be resampled from 44.1 KHz to 48 KHz. If you are going to need to do this a lot, it may be worth investing in SVCD2DVD. It's much cheaper than buying one of the very few DVD authoring programs that will accept MPEG-1 video as input without trying to re-encode it to MPEG-2.

If you have the MPEG-1 handy, feed it into DVDStyler. If not, then use IsoBuster as fritzi93 suggested below. Then feed the MPEG-1 into DVDStyler. It should accept it and I believe it will not reencode the video. It will automatically demux the video and audio, and resample the audio to 48KHz for DVD compliancy.

It's pretty simple, here's one way:

The free version of IsoBuster is adequate to the job. If you use TDA, the audio will be re-encoded. If using a freeware authoring program, you'll probably have to extract the audio and convert to 48k. Easily done with VirtualDubMPEG2. Then author.

Good luck.

TDA - TMPGenc DVD author is most likley the best tool for you.

VCD mpeg1 is compatible to DVD, and TDA will resample the VCD audio to DVD audio. So you pretty much get the work down to "Import -> Name the track/chapter -> compile -> burn"

I assume the TDA trialware comes with enough time to let you encode a few VCD into DVD for free.

Ulead DVD Moviefactory an convert VCD to DVD without re-encoding the video (audio will be converted to 48 KHz AC3). You can import the DAT file right from the VCD.

SVCD2DVDMPG -- there is an older free version which works fine.

It gives you DVD compatible MPEG1 and MP2 which you can author using, eg, GuiforDVDAuthor.

Now do you mean a VideoCD as in VCD or a CD Video disc that is an offshoot of the LD format. It has to be captured first with a capture device and then burned to DVD. Otherwise use the methods above.
