it sounds like you need to tell nero that it's a DVD you are trying to burn and not a VCD. VCD/CD's are limited to 80 minutes. when the New Compliation "wizard" pops up, in the upper left hand corner, you need to select "DVD", then below that "DVD-Video". if "DVD" isn't available, then Nero doesn't recognize your player as a DVD burner.
if you converted to "DVD Format" you should have a collection of files. i can't remember the extensions, i want to say some are .vob. drag all of that into the VIDEO_TS folder and burn.
note: i'm using Nero 7, so it may look a tad different for you.
edit: try
videohelp.com. it's where i learned and find a lot of information out. the link points a search i did, and that
first link links off site is exactly what i was trying to say, but with pictures and better description.
