ok, i cannot just burn it directly with nero as VCD?

[vitualis]

No.

However, VCD compatible MPEG-1 files are largely compatible with DVD so you can use it as the source for a DVD.

Yes you can! You can burn .mpg movies or .jpg slide shows with Nero direct to VCD

mphearn: yes you can burn directly to vcd on cdr/w but not on DVD+R/W as wizzy waaaaants.

To burn vcd mpeg1 files as a dvd you should convert the audio to 48 khz and then you should be able to author and burn as standard dvd.
