But how is it when you play it back on your set-top dvd player? MPegs can not be edited via Toast & yes you may find limitations with MPeg vid files. But the real question is do they play properly when play back on a proper dvd player (not softw player.)

The quality may vary depending upon who encoded them, etc. Some people use cheap & nasty encoders & some don't know what they're doing. But some people who are experienced at it will do good encodings.

BTW get MPeg Streamclip & see how they play within that. It's free or donateware.
