I used kavi2svcd to do the job of burning the mpeg to cdr.
This looks like just what I had in mind - thanks! Could I ask one technicalish question about SVCD? Can I create a widescreen SVCD or do I have to use the 4:3 ratio? The original file I want to put on CD is 16:9 and I'd like to keep that rather than reduce the scale to fit it into 4:3. But if I can't, I guess I'll live with that! I *could* just try anyway, but transcode takes quite a while to process this file (it's large), which discourages experimentation. I'd already looked at DVD:Rip, but that only works if you're ripping the file, not if you've already got a file on HD that you want to put on a S/VCD :-) Thanks, John -- John Pettigrew Headstrong Games john@headstrong-games.co.uk Fun : Strategy : Price http://www.headstrong-games.co.uk/ Board games that won't break the bank Knossos: escape the ever-changing labyrinth before the Minotaur catches you!
