How do I add an "extra" video sequence to the end of the SVCD?
I'd like to get the "voices cast" on the second audio track with, and this wasn't included in the ripping with internal routines.

I don't know if I could have chosen it to be with even if I had thought of this beforehands, it's one of those extra vob files after the actual movie.

I tried a simple cheat by trying to include this extra SVCD mpeg file as a "ChangeCD Picture", but even though title picture seems to support video sequenses, the ChangeCD Picture appears as a still picture, showing just one frame of the sequence.

I still have all the files on my hd. Is there a way to edit VCDImager scripts and tell it to include an extra SVCD mpeg file?

I'll be facing the same problem with other movies in future. How should I do this, if these vob files are not listed as a part of the movie in the IFO file?

Thanks in advance.

Another false alarm.
It's perfectly OK to use a video sequence also as a "ChangeCDPicture", not just as a "TitlePicture",
in case anyone is interested.
Of course this gives opening to fancier, animated "ChangeCDPicture" etc. (hint :) ), as well as "TitlePicture".
Then again, I have no idea if this works with all stand-alone players, at least my Raite-clone is happy with it.

I found out that the "foreign cast" vob file was not standard video, but just one frame per "page", and DVD must have some way to tell the player how long each frame will be shown.

I wasn't able to convert this to a useful mpeg with internal routines - showing just four frames, each a full page of text is a bit too fast for me to read - but I managed to get the result I wished by editing the result in Adobe Premiere, making the four-frame-sequence to last 15 seconds

The result was somewhat fuzzy, but now I have "The foreign cast of voices" as my "ChangeCDPicture" on the last CD.

I have to try to do something with my perfectionism, before it gets out of hands ;) . Then again, if we all were happy with things just as they are when they come out of the package, maybe we wouldn't have things like DVD2SVCD around...

Thanks to everybody for your concern. :)
