As far I know vcdeasy uses parts of the mjpeg tools and mplex and cddao to create the disks.
According to that "guide" I would guess that you will have to mplex it that way: mplex -f 2 -b 2750 -V -b 300 audio.mp2 video.m2v -o VCD_test.mpg Where -b is the buffer value you used when encoding the SVCD. after that run mplex with that option: > vcdimage -t vcd2 VCD_test.mpg Than burn it with cdrdao. This could do the trick. Where the "trick" is making the player belive that it is a VCD and hoping that when the player reads the mpeg2 header it will switch the firmware to MPEG2 playback. > I am an absolute rank amateur at this, having only created a couple of > VCDs in Kino, and I haven't got brave enough to actually change any of the > standard options, so I really know nothing of mjpegtools.

I did not describe that problem. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
