"Project X" has the capability to join multiple mpg files and produce a
single pair of synchronised audio and video streams.  You can then
multiplex them together using mplex to create a single mpg file for use
with dvdauthor.

You just need to add multiple mpeg files to the file window in Project
X, and then press "Go!".

The only problem with this is that it may (but I'm not 100% sure) drop
audio/video frames on the file boundaries in order to maintain A/V sync.
 Whether this is a problem obviously depends on the content of your MPEG
files, but it's probably worth trying.
