Yes, I make VCD's all the time and basically, what I use is mplayer + mjpegtools + toolame + vcdimager to make them. Some of the programs cited above can be grabbed from Christian Marillat's repository. > I have heard of a couple of ways to do it, but they all seemed pretty > complicated.

I don't know, but then, I am not afraid of using a terminal and, in fact, I prefer to use it (but I am not opposed to the idea of having something where I can fine-tune the parameters used for compression). I have modified the script that comes with mplayer to make VCD's so that it works with current mplayer (1.0pre7, if I am not mistaken) and all that it takes is something like the following command line: mencvcd dt -a 2 -noburn -toolame -svcdout -tvnorm n -vfr 4 dt.avi Not really that complicated, once you learn what the parameters are. All that it takes is a *lot* of time, especially if you don't have a fast machine.
