Easiest way to burn Mpeg-2 to play on DVD player??

Im new to this... but.. i burn alot of avi and mpeg files to CD to play on my DVD player. But i have come across these mpeg-2 files that i need to burn along with my avi/mpg files... is there a program that will burn all them?? if not whats the easiest way? bear with me im a newbie..
thanks,
Zinc..

 

The simpliest way is to make a SVCD with them using VCDgear (read the 'sticky' thread to learn how to use it). Only, SVCD format is non-standad and not all DVD players read them. More, only 40' of SVCD movie fit on a 80' CD. 80' of VCD movie fit into a 80' CD!
Otherwise you need to convert MPEG-2 to MPEG-1 using TMPGenc + the M2V plugin (read the 'sticky' thread) but it's much harder and it's NOT the easiest way.

 

So i can use VCDgear for all my burning?? avi and mpeg-1's? and it was convert mpeg2 to fit on to the CD?? ill read the sticky..

I went to the VCDGear site and theres two differnt ones

1. console
2. GUI


which one do i need? or do i need both?

thanks

No. VCSGear is to create a VCD image (cue/bin set). After, burn the image with Nero, CDRWin, Alcohol 120%... what you are used to use.

A full tutorial is in http://cd-rw.org/articles/archive/vcdgearburnatonce.cfm

Download VCDGear here: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/vcdgear.cfm . I never talked about GUIs and so on....

AVI are compressed videos (you need the proper codec to COmpress a movie and to DECode an AVI).
MPG are standard for videos. MPG are of 2 types: the mpegs in a VCD are MPEG-1. The mpegs in a SVCD (and in a DVD, but they have a different extension: VOBs) are MPEG-2. Converting MPEG-2 to MPEG-1 is a difficult task (NOT a newbie one). The simplest way is to use TMPGenc with the M2V plugin (read http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/svcd_to_vcd_from_cds.cfm ).
This is all the help I can give you on a forum's page (study, study, study..).
