That one's easy, 720x576 frame size is not valid for VCD.  Also
interlaced mpeg2 is not valid for VCD.  He would need mpeg1 at
352x288 frame size (assuming that 720x576 means you are making PAL
disks) for a valid VCD.

It's quite possible to generate mpeg1 vcd compatible streams with
mjpegtools, and that's what he needs to generate if it really wants
to go to VCD.
