    Re-encode it to 720x480 mpeg-2, then author it.
    The quality is going to suck.
    You can, with the right software, author the mpeg-1 directly to dvd.

    I use Tmpgenc x-press 3.0. It handles just about every format and can kick out really nice Mpeg2. I've converted mpeg1 to mpeg2 that actually looked far better than what I started with after filtering and color-correcting with Tmpgenc. Won't ever pass for full DVD quality though. Garbage in = Garbage out.
