[G4] Toast 6 and VCDs

[Hal]

I tried using Toast 6 to make an SVCD and a VCD of a DV stream captured 
into iMovie. Both efforts failed miserably. The process is cool, and 
the menus look very nice. The actual product had terrible sound and 
video though. I know it's not the source, because it looks great on the 
computer. It's also not the player, because I've played other VCDs I[ve 
made using Toast 5 and they worked fine.
