I use vcdimager to create VCD images of video from my DV camera. First I import the AVI into Kino and then export it as mpeg1. Vcdimager takes the mpeg1 stream and converts it to the required image files ready to burn with cdrdao. I use vcdimager from the command line and there is good documentation explaining the principles and giving examples at http://www.vcdimager.org/documentation.phtml Vcdimager also has several GUI front ends including qvcd, arson and k3b, but I have never used them, it works great as a standalone program from the command line, the only problem for me is that the quality of VCD is very noticeably inferior to DVD HTH Pete Ardnamurchan Scotland -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/krHnbAtXXQnVtr0RAgycAJ9G6yf2nJoDKn70L1442uiQ7q3NDgCfRWzi mhINzmckcYns85vqbQnuNgM= =Ac9H -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
