The usual programs to generate the info create multiple files and a 
cuefile (see the cdrecord man page). Real cdrecord uses this cuefile to 
write the SVCD media, the last (years ago) time I tried to do that with 
wodim it seemed to work but the media wouldn't play. This format is 
still (marginally) useful for small video where the quality of VCD is 
unacceptable and the cost between CD and DVD blanks matters.
