Well you need to burn your Cd in a SVCD mode ... most DVD player should be able to read it .

well, tmpgenc encoder is great for converting programs into dvd format mpg's, and then tmpgenc dvd author will turn it into video_ts and such needed folders.

nero is great too.

use DVD shrink to reduce the size of each video segment

Then use nerovision to make up the menus, encode/recode the video and burn to DVD and you're all done.

I use nerovision to burn my tv series to DVD from avi/divx downloads and it works a treat.
