Well, the way you invoked cdrecord, it probably undertood file.mpg was 
an iso image! As others have already explained to you, if you do want a 
VCD/Video CD, you need to use other tools. Which , I  have no clue at 
the moment (someone talked about  vcdimager and  vcdtools), but google 
is your friend.

Good luck!
