Yeah, there's a bunch of software out there for doing this. FFmpegX  
does this, you'll have to install some other stuff, iirc to author  
the VCD, but I think Sizzle (see version Tracker for that) will work.  
The open source stuff is a little fiddly. Toast will make VCD's, and  
QT Pro will do the encoding necessary. (Toast might, too, I don't know)
