First you need an acquired video from anywhere i.e. net, backup, etc.

Software List
 transcode
 mplayer
 vcdimager
 grow

Making a VCD

First get the file to MPEG-1.
Under the avi file they are encoded with different formats, XViD, DiVX,
MPEG-4

So you need to get the correct codec packages that support different avi
formats.

Totem, Xine, etc, are players that support different formats.

$ transcode -i foo.avi -x mplayer -y mpeg2enc.mp3enc -F 1 -Z 352X240 -o
outputfile

Two files will emerge, a video file and an audio file.

outputfile.m1v
outputfile.mpa

Next you will be using mplex to put the audio and video together.

$ mplex -f 1 -o harrypotter.mpg filevcd.m1v filevcd.mpa

Creating a bin/cue file for burning:

$ vcdimager --cue-file=videocd.cue --bin-file=videocd.bin filevcd.mpg

Burning the mpeg to cd-r.

$cdrdao write --speed 8 file.cue

Making a SVCD onto a DVD

$ mplex -f 8 -o harrypotter.mpeg2 filedvd.m1v filedvd.mpa
$ mkdir dvd
$ dvdauthor -o dvd file harrypotter.mpeg2

These results should be produced in the directory dvd:

 VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS

To create a table of contents.

$ dvdauthor -o dvd -T

Now you want to make a iso.

$ mkisofs -dvd-video -o dvd.iso dvd
$ cdrdao write videocd.cue

Tvid is an all-in-one package that does all these steps in one application.
