I cannot remember exactly what process I used to do my VCDs but I did use QT and Toast, so you have what you need. I've never made an SVCD. Cleaner would not replace Toast. It would compress your movie to MPEG1 more efficiently than anything, thus giving you the best looking MPEG1 you can get for toast to work with. It's mostly a PC based site, but there is good info and a little Mac info too at: www.vcdhelp.com best -Preston
