Did you get the SVCD plug-in (MPEG-2 plug-in) for Nero? If you did, there will be an option to burn svcd on the left column where Nero lists all burning project type. From there, it's a click-and-drop & hitting the "write" button. I've done this numerious time. Another application to burn svcd easily is Roxio's VideoPack but it's $499 retail.
