If not on a G4 or G5, than *anything* relating to encoding video will be slow 
and awkward. I'm sure Apple made the decision to require G4's to use iDVD 
just for this reason.

However, that said, I've heard that ffmpeg can help build VIDEO_TS folders, 
but I am not sure. Search versiontracker for it. Once you have a VIDEO_TS 
folder, Toast is no longer slow and awkward.
