You need quicktime pro to convert mpg files to mov files. Then you can author the dvd with iDVD.

Backing up dvds you own is a problem, they do have encryption on the discs that prevent you from being able to copy the data. I have yet to see any tool on the mac that allows the "legal" dvd copying.

For the mpg thing try toast 6 (commercial) or capty cd/dvd (also commercial) IDVD or DVD studio pro will work to.
for backing up your DVD's witch is as far as i know legal
refer to copying dvd's tutorial thread by skad witch is easy and a clear manual.
Good luck and have fun witch writing dvd's

yes the tutorial by scad is very well done and very easy to follow.

Use DVD Studio Pro to create DVDs
