How do I burn a DVD to play like a VCD?

[Segageo64]

I have files of TV shows (Video Clip mostly) that work great as VCD's but a few of them are too large to fit on a VCD standard 80min CD-R disc. Is there a way to split the file or can I somehow make these files play on a DVD?

I have Nero 6 ultra, Ulead Movie Factort 2, and Roxio Easy CD and DVD creator installed on my system for software and none of them seem to want to make a playable DVD-R disc for my home DVD player. My home player can read DVD-R disc when using DVD X-copy exress to backup copyright movies but I wish I could get a simple video clip and Mpeg file to work as good with one of the other programs using a DVD-R disc. What options on what software work best to make a playable DVD?
