SVCD the easy way!

I've downloaded iVCD after I read the post but can't try it until I've scrounged up the cash to buy Jaguar. I did notice an order form in with the software so perhaps you can now run it after you pay for it without a big watermark.

On the other option in Mac Addict Magazine, I did download the Mac Developer's Tools (took a marathon set of sessions) during the time when I had first asked about making SVCDs. I've got a bunch of assorted tools downloaded. All I need to do is upgrade to Jaguar and sort them out. I probably have most of what I need but just need Jaguar so they'll run right.
