The documentation I got with Toast 6 said that it adjusts the file to fit the media you are burning to and that smaller files will look better than larger ones. This to me sounds like Toast 6 is adjusting the encoding parameters to give you the best image possible. Eric >>> drcohen at mac.com 10/16/2003 9:53:26 AM >>> Check out ffmpegX as a means of encoding your content. Neither iVCD nor Toast allow more than minimal control over the encoding parameters (standard and high are the only settings). Burn the result with your burning software of choice -- mine is Toast 6. -- Dennis R.
