When I try adding the video file an error comes up that says: The video GOP is too long. For a standalone DVD it is nessesary for the GOP to fulfill the following conditions: Max 36 fields (18 frames) (NTSC format ONLY) Max 20 fields (15 frames) (PAL format ONLY)
Hiya, that means the MPEG file you are using as source is NOT a DVD Compliant file (read the help that comes with DVD Author). Have Fun....
uhhh.... how bout I just use something else, can you recommend a program that will burn the .mpg directly to a dvd-r? if not do you know a program that will get the vob and ifo files from the mpg so I can burn it with nero by just adding it to the video_ts and audio_ts folders? Thanks
You could run the MPG through TMPGEnc to produce a DVD Compliant file, then use DVD Author. You could try something like Sonic MyDVD. You could try DVD-Lab. Many possibilities, all will require some work/learning etc... If you are looking for a one-click solution, you may be out of luck...

TMPGEnc (the encoder) http://www.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/tp.html is different from TMPGEnc DVD AUTHOR http://www.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/tda.html You weren't trying to do it all in DVD Author, were you?
Use the project Wizard in TMPGEnc to encode the file to DVD Standard (file - project wizard). Then use TMPGEnc DVD Author, it wont accept a non standard file!
Wow.. alright when I go to the project wizard and try to load the video and audio files they both say cannot open file, or unsupported. Please Help!
Its probably MPEG-2 then, get this plugin - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_encoders/m2v_plugin_for_tmpgenc.cfm
