authoring mpg into svcd

[CCEncoder]

I have several mpg (audio and video) mpeg2 it is, I want to burn them! they are 700MB or so, I want to play them on DVD players as svcd because that's what they are, extracted from the bin dvd2svcd made, if I can separate the video in chapters the better!, ok so ¿how should I start? ¿what should I do?

Can I just ask why you extracted the mpeg from the bin file?
The bin file (along with the .cue file of the same name) is an SVCD disc image. If you are unsure how to burn this to CDR, look at Q61 in the D2S Basic Q+A (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21859)

Nick I know, I just want to edit them to my taste, but how should I author them back? I know dvd2svcd uses vcdbuilder, I just don't know how to use it!

Use e.g. vcdeasy (last freeware version from doom9) as a GUI to vcdimager.

It has an SVCD mode.

And, once you get the hang of it, it's is really, really easy to use :)
Any teething troubles, post them here and I'm sure we can help you out.

Also, the other possible way around this is for future reference is, rather than extracting the mpeg from the bin files, simply edit the bbMPEG_muxed_file_**.mpg files in your DVD2SVCD output directory.

Then you can relaunch DVD2SVCD and use the crash-recover function in the Misc. tab to restart the process from authoring. The bin files will then be made with your edited files (assuming you didn't change the filename of course)
