[CUBE] Making DVDs

[Rob In der Maur]

The tools I use on Mac OS X to build VCD's or SVDC's are Toast Video CD 
export and/or MissingMPEGTools and VCDBuilder.
The Toast Video CD export plugin can be used to export your iMovie 
footage to VCD format.
The MissingMPEGTools is a set of tools that can take iMovie/Final Cut 
Pro footage and convert it to either VCD or SVCD format.
VCDBuilder is a nifty program to build interactive menus for your 
VCD/SVCD's (e.g. when you want to store multiple clips and even 
pictures on your VCD/SVCD). It enables you to generate the VCD/SVCD 
image and will start Toast automatically for you to do the burning. It 
cannot do the encoding to the proper format. That's why you need the 
other tools mentioned above.

See Versiontracker for links to MissingMPEGTools and VCDBuilder.

cheers
Rob
