I have many MPeg2 Muxed files on my mac that need to be burned to DVD. I can watch the videos but there is no sound. I know If I buy the MPEG 2 Component I'll be able to hear the sound, But will I then be able to burn the movies to DVD using iDVD??
You could playback the files, with sound, by using VLC. You can create a DVD by using Visual Hub.I have many MPeg2 Muxed files on my mac that need to be burned to DVD.

You can demux the files with a free download called MPEG Streamclip.
It is available (on both Mac and windows) at: http://www.squared5.com/
This would allow you to demux the file, export it out quicktime, AVI or MPEG 4 and then burn to DVD.
If you are using iDVD to burn DVDs then you will have to demux the files. iDVD doesn't support MPEG 1 or 2. It supports all QuickTime supported formats (.MOV, MPEG4) which you can convert MPEG2 to using MPEG Streamclip.
