Thanks a lot! I found it and its running well but I still have some problem. Now I am trying vcdimager. I used default setting to try my mpg files. vcdimager stopped at one of my mpg file with following error: $ vcdimager file4.mpg ************************************************************ ++ WARN: packet length beyond buffer (pos = 2084 + size = 2042 > buflen = 2324) -- stream may be truncated or packet length > 2324 bytes! **ERROR: input mpeg stream has been deemed invalid -- aborting ************************************************************ It seems like buffer overflow but I don't know how to fix this. and another one ended up like this: $ vcdimager file6.mpg *********************************************************** ++ WARN: mpeg stream will be padded on the fly -- hope that's ok for you! ++ WARN: autopadding requires to insert additional 6719252 zero bytes into MPEG stream (due to 24278 unaligned packets of 24279 total) ++ WARN: audio stream #0 has bitrate 163840 kbps (should be 224 kbps for this vcd type) ++ WARN: file `videocd.bin' exist already, will get overwritten! ++ WARN: file `videocd.cue' exist already, will get overwritten! ++ WARN: INFO.{VCD,SVD}: assuming PAL-type resolution for track #0 -- are we creating a X(S)VCD? **ERROR: invalid mpeg packet found at packet# 6 -- please fix this mpeg file! ************************************************************* this one I have no idea what it is talking about. This mpg file plays well in mplayer (actually both of them). can somebody guide me on this issue? after its been fixed I will be able to: $ vcdimager file1 file2 file 3 ...... and so on to compile everything in one VCD right?
