What is best to use, for burning a VCD

I have, on my computer, a copy of a very old cartoon movie that I used to watch - that was, unfortunately, never released on DVD in the U.S. Nevertheless, the German version had an English voice track on it, so the rip came out just fine.
I am going to burn it onto a VCD, but first, I wanted to know if using certain programs to burn VCDs would make the quality as a VCD better or worse at all? I wouldn't really think so, but I thought that I should at least make sure.

Ok this movie you have, what form is it in? Is it a bunch of dvd files or is it an AVI MPEG or somethin else?

By the way a vcd will not improve the quailty of anything. If your movie is poor quality already then the VCD will be poor quality too.

Oh, I'm not asking if it will IMPROVE the quality, because I know it won't.

The file is in AVI format, it's a DIVX rip of the movie.

All I'm wondering is if some programs, when they make VCDs, if they make the quality worse at all, and if so, which programs either don't reduce the quality, or do so less than others. It's in spectacular quality, considering it's 21 years old and is the only known rip in circulation (kinda rare, actually).

I'd import it if it didn't cost $10 to ship and another $20 just for the movie itself...real bummer, it used to be my favorite movie as a kid.

I dont think the quality will suffer when you reencode it to a VCD mpeg. But if it is too long you will have to cut it to fit onto 2 or more discs.

Ive used Nero, TMPEGencoder, and Roxio to do my VCDs in the past. All do very nicely and some work where others dont.
