You need something in between mplayer/mencoder and vcdimager to convert the video and audio streams into a VCD-compliant format. Also, vcdimager replaces mkisofs since it generates the necessary cue/bin files for burning directly. One-liners are going to be difficult because, among other reasons, the audio and video portions of the movie have to be handled separately. My (recent) experience: 1. I use mplayer (and mencoder) to extract the audio and video portions of the divx (or any other format) movie separately. 2. Then I use some of the utilities in the mjpegtools package (namely, lav2yuv, yuvscaler, mpeg2enc, lav2wav, mp2enc and mplex - the docs are full of useful examples) to manipulate the audio and video streams into VCD- or SVCD-compliant streams, and merge them together again into a single movie file. 3. Then I use some of the tools in vcdimager to tweak the play options and generate the cue/bin image files. 4. Then I feed the cue file to cdrdao, and that's it. I would like to use cdrecord, since that's what I already use for my other cd burning needs, but I could find no mention of cue/bin file handling in either the cdrecord or the mkisofs docs. If you want, I can send you a sample script I have written just for this purpose (converting movies into SVCDs). -- Carlos Sousa http://vbc.dyndns.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
