[MacDV] Re: VCD Help

[Thubten Kunga]

Thank you so much Mike. I did not know that, even though I had all the 
parts to do it. I have been putting off doing any of this for lack of 
the DVR-105 and a G4 in my B&W. I just used the iMovie tutorial to test 
your instructions and it works perfectly with my properly installed 
Toast 5.2. I hope this Toast 5.2 VCD integration will still work from 
iMovie 3. You think?

The free parts of iLife plus Toast 5.2 will make an excellent 
integrated Video CD package if the Toast parts of the export menu still 
show up. Now I wonder what it would take to be able to have the iDVD 3 
front end as a part of the Toast 5.2 VCD burn?
