uhm, unlikely

something quick and easy (only remuxing, no re-encoding required):  
run $ mkfifo /tmp/fifo , then: 

$ mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts \ 
format=dvd:tsaf:interleaving2 -o /tmp/fifo  -oac copy -ovc copy \ 
file1.mpg file2.mpg

and on the other:

$ dvdauthor -o dvd_dir -t /tmp/fifo && dvdauthor -o dvd_dir -T

If all is fine in few minutes you will have a burnable dvd_dir 
directory:

$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z dvd_dir -dvd-video -udf -R -J

Notice that if the bitrates (of the video or of the audio stream)
are too high the first pass will likely lead to errors and you will
have to reencode at least the video stream (read the docs
in www.mplayerhq.hu for details)
