Is there a program/way to burn both some MPEG-1 Movies and some DivX movies to the same DVD-playable disc? I have some UFC fights I want to be able to watch on my big screen, but they are in both formats.

Try convert to dvd compliant format with VSO (free version), then burn with e.g. Nero. Just keep adding the different videos one by one before hitting 'convert':

Good luck!

Sorry, but I totally disagree with u, scf_au. A DVD movie is very large (up to 9000 kbps), and if you create it from a VCD MPEG-1 movie, you'll obtain a VCD-like quality movie which, instead of being 10.1 MB x minute large (1200 MB for a 2h movie), might need need up tp a full double-layer DVD-ROM (9 GB) for a single!

Convert all movies in VCD/MPEG-1 compliant to your system. Many free encoders are available for doing this; for VCDs movies also TMPGenc is free and rather fast, you need the Plus version for loading/encoding MPEG-2 only).

After you've one that, author them in a DVD with DVD Lab. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/multiple_svcd_on_dvdr.cfm ). You'll be able to put about 4 movies of the same quality of your input MPEG1-like movies, per single-layer (4500 MB) DVD.

@ aldaco12,

I won't dispute about size, but what about the DivX movies?

If the DVD player can read DivX files, he just can burn them in a CD-R as 'data CD'. Usually such AVI movies found on the net already are about 700 MB large in size, with 48 kHz (MP3 or also AC3) audio, DVD compliant.

If one needs to convet an AVI into a mpg, it must examint the AVI
characheristic (open it with VirtualDub--> File Information).

He could have a 600 kbps 352x240 movie (400 MB big) or a 2000 kbps 600x400 one (> 900 MB big).
When stanting with a mid/low-qualuity, (S)VCD quality is enough. When starting with a hi-quality, DVD i favourable.
You can keep these (approximate) numbers as a reference:
Low-quality = <800 kbps.
Mid-quality = 800-2000 kbops.
Hi-quality = 2000 kbps.

After all, remember that a VCD is 1150 kbps and a SVCD is VBR, ranging from 1150 kbps to 2500 kbps.
