Hi Editer,
maybe you forgot to tick "postprocess split and author" ?
This is the step where the mpeg file is split and converted to .img files.

Or simply this postprocess could not occur because the terminal was waiting an answer from you, if you would like to overwrite the files which already existed on your HD... (I mean you did not delete them from your previous attempt to encode)

Anyway, now that you have the mpeg file, you still can postprocess it either with ffmpeg (go into the tools tab, choose video as your mpeg file, no need to choose the sound file, just tick postprocess split and author, keep elementary streams, split in 2 or 3, author as SVCD and then "go") or you can split the file with mpgtxwrap and author it with VCDbuilder...

Hope this helps.
