Moving from DVD to CD, either VCD or SVCD is more involved than moving from DVD to DVD. One would need to simply omit several additional steps involved in reducing the video from 640x720 to the smaller format of whatever the target was (SVCD is 640x640) and skip encoding the video from 5.1 to stereo. In other words, rip the vob files, edit the ifo files and burn to target. DVD::Rip supports doing all of that and much more. The DVD::Rip interface may not support doing the direct burn but if you have a DVD burner working under Linux, you already have the necessary tools to do that yourself, you don't need it to do it for you. I have a CLI script that can build a DVD ISO image for burning to media, all you need to do is create the directory structure and then build the ISO and burn with the tool of your choice. If someone is looking to get someone to explain the process of doing this type of thing step by step (especially for commercial DVDs that are encrypted and thus covered under DMCA), they should contact them person to person, off-list so that such discussions are not taking place in a public forum (which is also archived by Google) where any member of the MPAA can note them for future reference in yet another DMCA related lawsuit.
