OK - I've been browsing this site and trying to make sense of the 
process for creating a VCD. Unfortunately most of the information 
relates to PC users. Some questions:

1) How do I get from iMovie to MPEG ? I thought that when I'd spent 
my $ and upgraded to QT Pro I would just be able to select MPEG 1 or 
2 when I do an export to QuickTime from iMovie, but the only options 
seem to be Motion JPEG A or B and MPEG 4. I think I'm right in saying 
that I need MPEG 1 for VCD or MPEG 2 for SVCD - is that right ?

2) Do I need to export from iMovie in some other format and then use 
some sort of conversion program to get to MPEG ?

3) How can I get rid of a nasty border around my movie which is an 
artefact from the Dazzle Hollywood (black border on top and 
left/right edges and shimmering border on bottom edge, all about 4 
pixels high/wide) ?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
