How exactly are you invoking the mencvcd script?


What type of files are you converting?  The script automates the
procedure needed to create the vcd's.  It basically is three parts as I
understand it:

1. Both the mplayer video and audio feed are converted seperately into
mp2 & mpv formatted feeds using mjpegtools.

2.  These feeds are then rejoined into one mpeg1 formatted file.

3. This file is then converted into the raw bin format used in VCD's and
a cue file generated for it.

If you are not getting sound, try playing the file with just mplayer, it
may be that there was no sound encoded in the first place.
