Burning VCD or SVCD onto a DVD

I know this one is sorta coming out of left field, but does anyone know if it's possible to use VCD or SVCD compression and burn it to a DVD? You could sure fit a lot of episodes onto a DVD as opposed to a CD. Nero has such a cool way of authoring VCD's and SVCD's, I was thinking it would be totally wicked to be able to go for a blank DVD and have like 6 times the space.

Has anyone done this?

You can not burn as VCD on a DVD the same way as burning on a CDR/W. But you can convert the VCD to a "DVD-VCD" that will work on most DVD Players. Standard DVD supports MPEG1 so it is possible to author VCD MPEG files to DVD without reconverting the video, on one standard 4.7 DVD±R/W disc you can store about 450 minutes VCD MPEG. But the DVD standard requires 48 khz audio(VCD is 44 khz) so it requires some preparation before authoring and burning the DVD.
