Burning is the easy part.  Pretty much any of the Linux CD-writing tools will 
do it.  (cdrecord, cdrdao).  The k3b GUI will let you create a VCD/SVCD from 
a compliant MPEG stream.  It really couldn't be easier.  The problem for me 
has been the transcoding step -- so far all of the SVCDs I've produced have 
had problems with the audio, causing it to drop out after a couple of 
seconds.  Nero can't help with that, as all it does is image and burn.  What 
did you use to create an SVCD-compliant MPEG?  I'm curious.
