yes, but obviously you still need to use dvdauthor and vcdimager to create
image discs.
Modern (especially cheap) dvd players can also play [s]vcd discs that 
contain
non-standard mpeg1/2: mine plays perfectly vcds with 720x576 mpeg2 and
48 khz ac3 straight out of dvb, so there's still something to gain out 
of these
old formats, especially if one doesn't have a dvd writer.
