I am interested in making DVDs.  I have not seen any VCDs, but what I have read about
them leaves me uninterested.  I hear they are similar to VHS quality, but not as good.
In the Windows side is the SVCD, and that interests me, but until it becomes an easy
thing to do on the Mac side, I will wait.
Thanks

There will eventually be a speed bump in the new iMacs or eMac.  When that happens, I
will probably get one.  I don't think I will buy another machine that is not at least a
single 1 Gig processor.
