Some standalone DVD players can play VCDs, which can be produced by a
program like VCDImager. There are tools which can encode to MPEG-2
format. SVCD (I think) supports MPEG-2. As for movie-making, I
don't think there's any all-in-one package, not counting the
abandoned Broadcast 2000. To record, do some basic editing or
transcode you have to do it the Unix Way with command line tools like
xawtv, mjpegtools, mpgtx or transcode.
