 Not offically however there is a patch in the TipsAndTricks section

+= My VCDs all have the same chapter menu.  The first VCD I tried seemed to get a 
correct chapter menu, but every one after that shows the same number of chapters and 
chapter timings as the first one. =

+If you make your own VCD BINs with GNU VCD Imager and then burn them to CDs using 
cdrdao it is possible that all of your
+VCDs will have the same creation date and label.  (Apparently the creation date of 
the BIN file is used by cdrdao and if the BIN file is overwritten rather than created 
new each time every CD you burn would have the same creation date.)  Unfortunately, 
freevo uses the creation date and label to name files holding metadata about the CD, 
so it assumes that every CD with the same creation date/time and label is the same CD 
and it will not bother creating new metadata for it.  However, there is a way to work 
around this.  In local_conf.py set MMPYTHON_CREATE_MD5_ID = 1.  This will cause the 
filename of the metadata to include an md5 of the first byte of the disc and should 
make it more difficult for two CDs to share the same metadata file. It would also be a 
good idea to delete old BIN files (rather than overlay them) and create unique labels 
for VCDs that you burn.
