[MacDV] Re: VCD Help

[Eric Phillips]

Mike,
Thanks for the help. I bought QT Pro 5.0 before 6.0 came out and I am now running 10.2.3. Now Apple wants me to fork out another $50 for QT Pro 6.0 since 5.0 wont work with OS10.2.

One more quick question. I was looking at SVCD also using MediaPipe and MMT etc. If I go this route it looks like I will then need QT Pro again. Is this true?

Thanks,
Eric

You don't need QT Pro. Assuming Toast has been installed properly (see 
below) the procedure is:

Edit movie in iMovie

Select "Export" from the file menu. In the window select "To QuickTime" 
for the Export Option and either "Toast Video CD (NTSC)" or "Toast 
Video CD (PAL)" for Formats. Then click the "Export" button at the 
bottom, give it a file name, and go take a long break.

When its done exporting it will start Toast automatically (this setting 
can be changed) and you just have to give the CD a name, click "Burn" 
and install a blank CD.

It may be obvious, but the "Toast Video CD..." options are only 
available if Toast is installed properly. I had some trouble in the OS 
9/X transition getting the right files in the right place. If you have 
trouble, let me know and I'll try to figure out what file needs to be 
where. I should maybe also say IIRC, that the VCD export option is only 
available on the full version of Toast, not the Toast Lite shipped with 
many burners.
