You do have to make segments of mpeg content or the VCD will just start playing and not stop till the end. My DVD Player does have a Digest button that puts up a small image of the start of each segment I put on a VCD, and allows me to choose either by moving the cursor to the small image I want or by pressing the keys 1 to 9 to choose one. That may be specific to my JVC.
There is a freeware called VCD Builder that will let you add a little more structure and have pictures representing the various mpegs, but again you have to break the content up into separate mpegs.
