 Looks like you have 2 commands in there.  Try splitting off cdrdao ...
 into a separate command.

He's not forgotten the pipe sign symbol '|' immediately to the left of
cdrao has he?

it is 2 commands, I got half baked info from man files & web, ggrrrr



I could be wrong, but i don't think so. It's been years since i used vcdimager. I use devede these days.

Cheers, Rex

Finally produced a vcd which geekzbox can play, but not mplayer (no sound) or xine (nothing) and the aspect is square, not 4:3.
mplayer & xine & totem can play the original.vcd file video only, no sound

Commands used were:

1. ffmpeg -i ./muddleton-4.avi -target pal-vcd ./muddleton-4.vcd (guide from man ffmpeg) 2. vcdimager -t vcd2 -l "Muddleton-4" -c Muddleton.cue -b Muddleton.bin muddleton-4.vcd
3.    cdrdao write --device /dev/hdc Muddleton.cue

I now have 2 queries

1. To get the correct aspect ratio should I have -aspect 4:3 immediately after ffmpeg?

2.    What codecs am I missing?. mplayer from a term gives.....
