Thanks for all the good information. As a matter of fact this is very timely - exactly what I am trying to figure out. I done many CD's with video compressed in Cleaner, burned with Toast and made to autostart on a CD. But my problem now is that I am trying to make a VCD (on a Mac with Toast Titanium) so that it "autostarts" on a PC. I just is not working. Any suggestions would greatly appreciated.

You drop a Quicktime movie into the window and it creates an mpeg file from it. (I've always had my .mov file out on the Desktop when I've done this (using OS 9) and Toast has always left the mpeg file on the Desktop.) It takes awhile for it to make the mpeg file, so you'll need to be patient. 3. Once it had created the mpeg file, you can then drop that in the window and from there burn your VCD. >>
