nope - vcdimager works fine. the 'user data' sequences are inserted by
the multiplexer when you create your svcd mpeg stream. works fine with
the 'mplex' which comes with the dvb driver sources. afaik 'tosvcd' uses
the 'mplex' from the mjpeg-tools which seems to have a problem here.
maybe it can be changed to use the dvb version?
