I have searched and searched for an easy way to convert my Video CD's to DVD -- most were tedious and didn't seem to work properly, or relied on programs no longer available, supported, or able to be run on Tiger. However, on a whim, I took the .DAT files found in [MPEGAV], labeled AVSEQ01.DAT, AVSEQ02.DAT, etc., and asked VLC to play them -- which it did.

I then dragged them into Toast and told it to (after renaming the files something sensible such as DALEK01, DALEK02, etc.) burn a DVD of them. Perfect. This worked better than expected and didn't take much longer than a normal encoding/burning session.
