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, To the best of my knowledge, from my small bit of experimentation, is that it retains the original aspect ratio. I did a widescreen movie with it and everything was as it suppose to be. Thought maybe you might like this one. ;o) Oh, you might have to play with the recording command, when you get ready for that. It tried to use root to do the burning and if your programs, cdrecord, are already set to be used with k3b, then you don't need root. Seems like I had to tweak a couple of other things, but it was painless overall.
