I have some footage shoot with a jvc hcsd camcorder I'd like to put on a dvd. Every clip is stored as a .mod file that should be a standard mpeg-ps file with ac3 audio. Once renamed as .mpg each clip plays out of the box.
I'd just like to: join all clips together and put the whole video on a dvd without re-encoding. Video should be already dvd compliant so I't just a matter of joining a few files and generate a dvd iso suitable for any dvd player.
Easy, right? No: I tried a bunch of dvd author apps and none of them was capable of joining the clips, many were difficult to use, immature, no more developed or just plain broken. I got the "best" results with devede but still I got a dvd with wrong aspect ratio, I couldn't generate the dvd without re-encoding (it did complain erroneously about disk space) and each clip was a title instead of a single title divided
into chapters.

I'd really like to hear from some of you who have tried that before what are the recommended tools to accomplish that task.

Thanks!
