Could you post a sample transcode line?
Once in a while I have problems with mencvcd so I'm looking for other things to try. Last one I did was 'The Siege" and following your hint I tried mplex and eventually got something I could split up to two CDs. After burning both images I was surprised that my set top DVD player recognized them (VCD 1.1 format). It's a low end Koss, and isn't really supposed to be able to play VCDs. (With VCD 2.0, I hear audio only and a badly rolling B&W picture).
I have one that I burned to AVI simply because there were problems reading the stream with mencvcd (maybe it's cooker, not sure why, or maybe it's the DVD). I will continue to experiment, though.
DVD:Rip IMHO is too much although it does do a good job, it has so many processes running in the background and takes nearly 18 hours to do one DVD on my 1000 mhz Athlon. I can mencoder one to an AVI in about 1/2 that time.
avisplit is a good tool to split AVIs. I don't recall what I used presently to split the resulting VCD image into CD-sizes - it might have been vcdimager. The one problem I experienced in the last VCD I did (and so far the only one) is an increasing lack of synchronization (it's subtle, but it is a noticeable delay, and of course it is disconcerting to hear the audio and one or two seconds later see the mouth move).
How do you (or others) take care of the synchronization problem?
