Question

I have a number of MPG1 files, which are fine for VCD's.

Currently a couple of files will fit on 90minute CDR.

Is it possible to use a DVD writer and fit say 12 of these files on a 4.7Gb DVD-R in a VCD format?

Is there an easy way to copy these files retaining their MPG1 (and hence reduce the amount of space taken up) and burn them onto a DVD-R with some sort of menu system?

Any helpful advice or website will be much appreciated.

Cheers
Andy

You can not play VCD format files on a DVD disc. You will need to convert them. You can try re-encoding into MPG2 with a low bitrate to save space.

Take a look here for lots of info and guides.

Convert them to DVD format using the likes of Ulead Movie Factory (free 30day trial on their site)

Once converted, run them through DVD2One to shrink them to whatever size suits you

Hi Andy

I'm sure there's something which you can make a menu system up (like chapters on dvd movie disc) and then select movie from there, i'll have a chat with a mate who does it later.
