SVCD creation with 10.0

I have a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250 with which I capture video from my
analog camcorder with the following command:

cat /dev/video0 > filename.mpg

Works a treat, but I want to make an SVCD (no DVD burner yet.) I tried
making a simple SVCD with Tovid - a background image, two menu items and
a couple of correspinding videos. It grabbed the .mpg files output from
my capture card, massaged them a bit, and wrote new ones, and created
projectname.xml, video.bin and video.cue files. I tried to burn them
with K3B, but it wouldn't play in my DVD player, nor on my computer.

I've googled around a bunch, but it seems that most pages are starting
with either .dv or .avi files, and outputing to DVD. I know I'm in the
dark ages here, but would appreciate any pointers that one may offer...

Have you tried Videotrans? It makes a good job of splitting AVIs into m2v
and mp2 files although I've been having a slight problem with mencoder at
the next stage, this could be due to my installation of RealPlayer. It's
on Sourceforge and is a doddle to install.
