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.
