Heading says it all really - any advice grealy appreciated.
Kind Regards

mpeg is what dvd video is. its just that its at a higher bit rate and higher quality sound. not sure of the figures myself,
once a source has been compressed u can not add to it to get the extra information which would make it up to dvd quality.

so in short the answer is - No. :B

DVD Video specification is MPEG2. The bitrate is the publisher`s choice, though typically it`s 9600 kbits/sec (about 1.2 mbytes a sec) for feature films. The MPEG2 specification does not specify bitrates, it`s just a standard, i.e. it defines the method of compression, not how aggressively you carry out those methods.

You do not need to uncompress it, and as alluded to earlier, you`ll gain nothing from doing so (although I suppose you could perform some post processing sharpening or whatever, but that`s gonna take a while). If you have a compliant MPEG2 stream it will be very simple in any DVD authoring software to plonk it on a DVD.

the short & accurate answer would be no.

EDIT= heh, sorry katz, i didn`t see the end of your post :) ya beat me to it ;)
