You need the right kind of data for a vcd.
The data from vcd formatters usually contains preformatted sectors and
a cue sheet file.
Writing a vcd should be possible with cdrdao (using SAO mode).
Writing a svcd unly works with cdrdao if you can write it in SAO mode
and if your writer supports to write complex data in SAO mode.
If you need to write a svcd in RAW mode (e.g. because you use a Pioneer drive)
you are lost with cdrdao and need to use cdrecord. Cdrdao does not handle
cue sheet file based writing in RAW mode correctly.
