no i get the whole proccess i guess just that i dont understand the program i use goes to mpg format then do i burn to vcd ???? for dvd play ???

If your wanting to play an mpg thruough your dvd player you'll have to have a VCD. So you take your output mpg and make it a VCD. HOW? Well Id say for the newbie you should go with VCDImager-GUI http://www.vcdhelp.com/vcdimagergui.htm

All you have to do is take your mpg and load it onto VCDImager, it will then make you a nice bin/cue file which you can now burn with CDRWin.

-Hope this helps
