cdrdao works fine for me, you can't do it with xcdroast, and I don't know of any other GUI program that will do it for you. Here's the command I use to burn VCDs, you'll prolly need to change the device, driver, and speed lines to match your burner. Oh, and make sure you're root when you run this or it won't work. To find out where your burner is type (as root) cdrdao scanbus. Anyway here's the line:
cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 --driver generic-mmc-raw --speed 40 --eject foo.bin

well i found a pretty decent gui burner program that burned just about everything i need, it can burn an mpeg into a svcd or vcd, and it also handles bin/cue files no problem

does Arson need you to be Root to burn? cause i know eroaster needs u to be in root. xcdroast doesnt. you can jus be in user mode

oh geesh - now you're gonna make me blush with embarassment

I haven't tried to run arson as user yet!! sorry

But i could test it in a couple days when i have something new to burn and let you know

only reason im askin is cause i dont wanna have like 3 different pieces of software to burn different things. and i HATE being ROOT.

simplecdrx is only 500k
and you don't really have to be fully root.
you can open an xterm or konsole or
something then
su root
simplecdrx
then exit

all your other programs will be running with
normal prividges, privililages, partidges,
whatever it is.
