A little more detail (well, a lot actually) of exactly what process you are following, source material and required result might help us to help you.

did it following the guides for vcd to dvd http://vcdhelp.com/vcddvdr.htm using tmpgenc, joining the 2 aversq's together using vcdgear gui then back to tmpgenc for audio conversion,end up with 2 files .m1v & .mpa then on to spruceup

Hmm, ok. I would guess there is something about your original VCD encode that spruce up doesn't like. A couple of things you could try depending on what tools you have available.

I have done VCD on DVD with Dazzle DVD complete. Not the best authoring package in the world, but does work for this.

You could also try MyDvd 2.3 (Not 3.0) as this seems to work also.

Or you could always re-encode your VCD with TmpGenc, using a standard template. Takes a lot of time and may reduce quality slightly.
