mpeg to dvd

I want to burn a dvd with my mpeg videos on it for viewing on dvd/cd player. I have tried burning a dvd with quicktime mpegs but they don't show up when I put them in the dvd player (have tried 2 different ones, both new and view most anything). I tried importing to final cut express but lose the audio. is there a direct way (toast gives an error) to export mpeg to a dvd or cdv format and burn?

There's iDVD ... ----paxcirc.a-

I have tried idvd (won't import mpeg) Final Cut Express (loses audio when imported) and various others. I have tried exporting from QT but lose the sound or can't import into idvd or can import into imovie but again, lose the sound. I know there must be a setting from Quicktime Pro that I just am not aware of, but I have actually tried all the exports that I have, including Divx and DV streaming but cannot use them. Again, I think that there must be as setting that I'm overlooking or an additiong to QT that I need?
