nero is one of the easiest to use... get the mpeg2 codec from kazaa/similar... tends to lose some quality tho!
just search for mpeg2 codec in kazza m8... and stick in the nero programs files folder... load nero.. then select vcd from the option..
search on www.astalavista.box.sk for the MPEG-2 Nero plugin - make sure you get the right version number or it won't work. I'm on Nero 6.0.0.19 and i've got my MPEG-2 SVCD's burning ok, but it does lose the quality a little bit - but if u want better quality, buy a DVD writer and burn a DVD video disc.
