I suppose from that point it would take nothing more than converting the mpeg file to mpeg-2
I'm pretty sure you don't even need to do that. MPEG-1 video is legal for DVD-Video, IIRC. It will need encoding to a lower bitrate if you want to get it all on a SL disc, however. If you did pass it through an MPEG-2 encoder, it could probably preserve all the visual data and lower the filesize - just set the bitrate to 8000kbps because it will never be able to reach that without padding.
What's the point? 95% of DVD players will play VCDs too.

Just to have it all on one disc instead of 6.
