This is the Amiga port of VCDGear (console version) for creating VCDs on your
Amiga. Info on the original project can be found at http://www.vcdgear.com/

There's currently 3 different versions of VCDGear included in this archive:

VCDGear         - Normal binary that uses asyncio.library
VCDGear.noasync - Binary with asyncio.library disabled
VCDGear.elf     - MorphOS binary. DO NOT run under PowerUP!

Please read README.amiga, it contains descriptions of how to make VCDs and
how to extract mpeg-files from VCDs using BurnIT .. please read it before
doing anything else.

To get the full benefit of VCDGear, I suggest you buy the DAO version of
BurnIT, as it's the only program afaik that can burn true VCDs (mail me with
info if you know different).


New in this version:

· Fixed up some bugs in mpg->bin
· Added timecode tracking ability when -fix is used.
  VCDGear will automatically split MPEGs that have been joined
  improperly.  Use -nosplit to disable.
· Fixed the 99% hanging problem
· Fixed no cd image generation problem


The following changes have been made especially for the Amiga port:

· AsyncIO read/write using asyncio.library (if this isn't convenient (f.ex.
  if it doesn't work over your network), use the .noasync version).

· Makes Amiga specific .cue files (BurnIT, as it's the only program that
  supports MODE2/2352 BIN/CUE afaik).

· Reads Amiga specific as well as standard .cue files.
