Extract MPEG movies from .bin files in the Terminal

There's a great program called GNU VCDtools that lets you do many things to VCD's. Buried inside the app is a program called vcdxrip. To get everything right you need a few arguements to have it put out a simple .mpg:

alias vcdrip '/Applications/GNU vcdtoolsX 1.0b.app/
Contents/Resources/vcdxrip --no-ext-psd -o ~/.Trash/blah -b'
[NOTE: Enter on one line with no extra spaces; shown on two for narrower display purposes]

Now whereever I am, I can rip a VCD into a mpg. It tosses the XML information into the trash and it doesn't drop out any other input. Nice clean MPEG result.

[Editor's note: I have not tried this myself...]
