About:
Vcdimager is a command-line tool for creating Video CD (VCD) and Super Video CD (SVCD) images from various media sources. It provides robust authoring capabilities, allowing users to structure video content according to CD-ROM specifications. The tool also includes utilities for extracting streams and verifying the integrity of existing VCD images.
Key Features:
  • Authoring of VCD 1.1, 2.0, and SVCD compliant images
  • Support for extracting audio and video streams from existing discs
  • Comprehensive verification and analysis tools for image integrity
  • Command-line interface suitable for scripting and automation
Use Cases:
  • Creating playable VCDs from digital video files for legacy hardware
  • Archiving and analyzing existing Video CD media collections
  • Integrating VCD creation into automated media processing pipelines
Alternatives:
  • ffmpeg – FFmpeg is a broader multimedia framework that can encode video but lacks specialized VCD authoring structure generation.
  • cdrecord – cdrecord focuses on burning discs but does not handle the specific authoring and image creation for VCD formats.
