David I haven't used mencvcd but when I make VCD's using transcode I end up with 2 files, one video -.mpv, and one audio -.mp2, the next step for me is to multiplex them into one mpg file using mplex. After that I use vcdimager to create the right structure and cdrdao to burn. Maybe you need to multiplex your files next. If you want to cut files up into smaller chunks I would suggest you look at mpgtx, this is what I use. In the past I have had good results with avidemux, but for me it seems flaky under 9.2 HTH Regards Pete Ardnamurchan
