I've been playing around with making VCD's that I've
been able to play on a DVD players. I've looked at a
few software encoders. These make MPG1/VCD compliant
streams.

The best I've seen is the Panasonic. It's a plugin for
Premier. The Xing encoder is ok. It's standalone
and you can download a crippled demo from their website.

Hope this helps
