Why would you want to open them in MyDVD? The files are already DVD compliant so they would not need to be re-encoded to be put on a disc. If you go to burn them; the encoding screen will be gray with the mpg2 word. This means it is not being re-encoded.
If you want to make changes in them, it is best to go back to the original project and created a mpg2 file again.

As long as the MPEG 2 is DVD compliant, MyDVD will NOT re-encode the file.

Yes, the key word was "open". I hope the poster really wanted to "add" a video file to a DVD project. When I read open, I thought that the poster added the video file and then wanted to open it for editing. That would have meant a double encoding from the original AVI or mpg2 file and there would have been more loss of quality.
As for the project mondschain; I did not say go back to the original discs, I said to go back to the VideoWave project. if you wanted to do some editing. You did save that didn't you. It has a dmsm file extension.
