[MacDV] Video for Enhanced CD

[Gordon Alley]

So, when you make the CD, the music will play in a CD player, but when you
mount it on a computer, you can see the movie, but it won't play?
AFAIK, if the movie will play from your hard disk, it should also play from
a mounted enhanced CD. I just looked at the Toast 9 Help instructions for
making an ECD, and it looks pretty straightforward. Maybe there is a problem
with Toast 7.

Are you exporting your movie as a "self-contained" Quicktime movie (it needs
to be)? At only 4 minutes, you shouldn't have to use any special compression
on it.
