please don't get the impression, that development on the core system will
be hurt by  GUI development...

the core system is getting almost feature complete, and so I'm starting to
extend to other areas that complement this project. You will be able to do
almost everything you could possibly want with a svcd/vcd with the new xml
based tools. the GUI tools are just 'xml-frontends' :)

(even the possibility to completely convert a dvd with it's menu structure
to a (s)vcd would be theoretically possible, if you had a dvd
disassembling tool which created the xml description)

btw, as to 'rebin'ing... you'll be pleased, that vcdxrip will allow you to
complete the authoring cycle, by extracting all information already burned
to a VCD (or being contained in a .bin), ie creating a complete xml
description of the vcd, thus giving you the possibility to alter an
existing (S)VCD and then remaster it... I don't know, if there's a tool
out there yet, that does this! ;-)
