Convert SVCD to DVD

> Please note that, although built from open source tools, ffmpegx is a shareware package

Both the open-source tools you mention are licensed under the GPL, which requires that any software built from them also be GPL*. By offering it under an alternative license, the author of ffmpegx is breaking the terms of the license under which he's allowed to use the copyrighted open-source tools.

* Note that you /are/ allowed to charge for GPL software. But there's little point, because the first person to buy a copy can legally give it to everyone else.
