I had hoped that would be the case. So I was going to jump in and use
cdrdao. That was when it appeared that you cannot just put the mpeg file on
the disc. I was (I think - not sure at this point) trying to use a utility
to set up the mpeg file for eventual burinig. The program, vcdimager, died
as follows:

     $ ./vcdimager -pv pal-vid-vcd.mpg --cue-file=xx.cue --bin-file=xx-bin

--DEBUG: initializing libvcd 0.6.2 [linux-gnu/i686]
   INFO: scanning mpeg track #0 for scanpoints...
**ERROR: mpeg scan: pack header code expected, but 0x000001b9 found (buflen= 2324)

Not what I expected. Obviously thre file format is not accepted by this
utility. It seems the only format options are related to output format.
