Creating a VCD on Windows with free software!

Creating a VCD for free is a labor intensive process. There are countless products which cost money that claim to be "FREE" and in fact, are not. It's a minefield. Anyway, there are various ways of creating VCDs for free, this is the easiest I can find.

First convert the file to mpeg1 VCD compatible with SUPER:

Then package the mpeg you just created into a VCD format you can burn to disc (.bin and .cue files) with VCDImagerGUI:

Then burn the VCD (in the .bin and .cue files) to disc using ImgBurn:

Works great.
