I have used Toast 5 to create DVDs quite happily. There are two unobvious things 1. you need to create an empty AUDIO_TS directory if it doesn't have one 2. Use the "Other -> dvd" menu, not the "data" menu. However, I am not having success with using Toast to create a VCD. When I select "Other -> VCD" it puts up a dialog box asking me to choose either "one or more mpeg streams" or "a video CD image file" I just have a bunch of VOB files. How do I encode them into something Toast likes? And what is that something - what does it mean exactly by "image file"? Thanks, Peter
