You first have to convert the VCD to "plain" MPEG1 format.
1) Load VCD file into TMPGEnc
2) File>>MPEGTools>>Merge&Cut
3) Load your file
4) Set mode to MPEG1 (NOT "MPEG1-VideoCD")
5) Save your file with a new name
6) Exit TMPGEnc (as a precaution)
7) Restart TMPGEnc and at the main screen load your new file
8) Set to "System Video and Audio" (lower right side)
9) Click on "Setting" radio button
10) Click on "System" tab, change mode to "MPEG2", NOT "MPEG2-SuperVideoCD (VBR)", (from default of "MPEG1")
11) Click on "Advanced" tab, change "Video arrange method" to "Center (Custom Size"), change dimensions to 720x480, or 720x576.
12) Change "Source aspect ratio" to either "4:3 525 line (NTSC 704x480)", "4:3 525 line (NTSC)", or "16:9 525 line (NTSC)" - If you're in the PAL world choose either of the two similar PAL settings instead
13) Under the "Video" tab, change the dimensions to 720x480, or 720x576 - for highest quality set "Motion Search Precision" to "Highest Quality".
14) Change "Rate Control Mode" to "Automatic VBR (CQ_VBR)
15) Set audio to 48,000Hz (224Bps or higher sample rate)
16) Press "Start"
You should now be able to simply change the extender to .VOB

VCD aspect is valid for a DVD, and there's no need to "change source aspect" or any of that other crap.
With a good authoring program, one simply loads the VCD into it, and reauthor to dvd. I do this all the time, and get between 5 and 8 TV episodes per dvdr.
If this is an SVCD, you can still load it into the authoring program and produce a dvdr. Why re-encode to dvd aspect? The quality is going to get worse, not better.
I guess I just don't get it.
