DVD compliant streams are either MPEG-2 with a resolution of 720x480, 704x480 or 352x480 or MPEG-1 with a resolution of 352x240. Those are all NTSC resolutions. If you're dealing with PAL all the 480s should be 576 and 240 should be 288. A standard VCD has compliant video but not audio. A standard SVCD isn't compliant at all, but some players can be fooled into playing a DVD with SVCD resolution (480x480) if you use the right authoring software. If you want to make an VCD into a completely standards compliant DVD you just need to Demux the audio and resample it to 48kHz from 44.1kHz. If you want to make one from an SVCD you also have to re-encode the video to a DVD compliant resolution.

vurbal: what I'm doing is extracting mpeg from VCD, combining the mpeg into 1, using main concept mpeg encoder, tmpgnc dvd author, and DVD Shrink because the end result is always larger than 4.7 gigs. Where did I go wrong?

It sounds like you're re-encoding, which assuming you're starting with a VCD as you state (instead of an SVCD) isn't required. Try reading this guide for more info:
