How do you make a VCD with tracks that flow into each other?

I want to make a VCD that has multiple tracks (not indexes) but I dont want the tracks to have gaps in between. How do I create a VCD in which each track flows into one another seamlessly?

Mr VCD,

If you meant multiple files without menu selection, you can consider using IFilm Edit to stitch all the files into a giant file. I supposed this is not what you wanted.

Eliminating the gap is probably not possible if the "cluster size" concept is also used in CD.

a few times i used easy cd creator 4 to do this. lets say beforehand i split my main file into 3 seperate ones. So now i have 3 files instead of one. i enter them all in the vcd creation for easy cd creator 4. Once it gets me to the screen where i can choose the burn speed, etc. On the bottom it will give the choice "disk at once" this eliminates the 2 second gap between songs and i have done this on vcds as well. NOTE sometimes it works fine but other times it made a glitch in the file. So if you use this method, use it at your own risk

Only this way: Use software supports creation playlist node with insertion points, like Videopak 4.0, but you may have another problems: Your MPEG file must have header in every GOP, so you can't use Panasonis Encoder or many other programms for creation and editing Mpeg File.
