Your question is unclear.  Do you mean "I want to create a VCD or SVCD from 
arbitrary movie files"?  If so, you *have* to get the movie into MPEG-1 or 
MPEG-2 format, since VCDs use MPEG-1 at a specific size and SVCDs use MPEG-2 
at a specific size.  This means re-encoding and probably resizing the entire 
movie.  While you can do that with transcode, transcode has more options than 
mkisofs and is a complete pain.  mencoder may be easier to use, but it's been 
a while since I tried to re-encode anything.

If you don't want to burn VCDs or SVCDs, explain what it is that you want, and 
be specific.

I thought that was for re-encoding MPEG-2 streams from dual-layer DVDs into 
more compressed MPEG-2 streams that would fit on a single-layer DVD+R.  Also, 
all versions of k9copy are masked in Gentoo, so it may not be entirely 
stable.
