I have asked about this before but never got a satisfactory answer. 
(Unfortunately I can't figure out how to renew or revamp questions on
Google Answers once you've canceled the question.)

I am trying to convert a Quicktime .mov file to a VCD file.  I thought
this would be a simple matter, but apparently it's not.

What I mean by a VCD file is this:  in the Third World, they sell
these poor-man's DVD's (sometimes illegal knockoffs) called VCD's,
although I've never seen them in the States.  You put them in a DVD
player and they will play, although the quality is about what you'd
get with an old VHS tape.

What I would like to do is convert a standard QT file so it will play
this way, without a computer.

Some previous users have suggested using programs such as Tmpgenc, but
all they seem to do is convert the QT file into an .mpeg file.

This is certainly useful, but not for me.  Such .mpeg files will not
play in DVD players, at least not the ones they sell out here.

Curious about how a VCD file would look, I actually went out and
bought a VCD disk to examine the file structure.  Sure enough, the
"movie" is actually split between several folders, and is apparently
not designed to run on a computer.  It seems totally imcomprehensible,
yet when you slip it in a normal DVD player, it plays smoothly.

This is precisely what I need.  Can anybody give me the link to (or
carefully expain the steps necessary to) convert a QT movie into such
a VCD file, in EXACTLY THE WAY THAT MIMICS THE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE AND
SHELL PROGRAMS of these knockoff films?  Lacking such a directory
structure, a simple .mpeg, as I have repeatedly proven, will
definitely not play in a standard DVD player.

Isn't there some program out there that can just take your QT file and
do this all for you?

Thanks!

Once you have converted the QT file with Tmpgenc you don't need to do
anything else fancy, you just burn the .mpg to a VCD using your
favorite burning software. The burning software handles all the
comparmentalization of files, you don't have to do anything else.

For instance I use Nero, so I just start a new project, select VCD,
add the .mpg to the new VCD and burn.

Same for SVCDs which have a higher quality, set the Tmpgenc output to
SVCD and burn the resulting .mpg to SVCD with Nero or whatever.
If you want to get fancy you can add a simple menu to the disc using
the burning software.

I often do this to show downloaded trailers at movie mights, it isn't difficult.
