Since writing this, I've been using qvcd with some success. The
interface is not great, and there doesn't seem to be a way to save
preferences (such as the needed arguments to cdrdao), but other than
that, it's OK. I haven't yet been able to create VCDs that my
non-computer-based DVD player will play, but that's true with or without
the GUI, and the problem may be in the DVD player itself.

On a similar note: I'm looking at LiVES
http://www.xs4all.nl/~salsaman/lives/
as a possible tool for quick video editing (I'm daunted by the problems
reported with cinelerra). It looks like it requires an upgrade to
gtk+2.0, but I'm worried that it might break other stuff. Is this safe?
Should I hold off until the Planet does this upgrade (if you're going
to)?
