Making Video CDs from QuickTime Movies

    If you receive a message stating that the file "...is not in a supported format," it has probably been compressed with the video and audio in a single track. Toast cannot convert this type of QuickTime file to Video CD.

    Depending on your computer, encoding a Video CD file takes a whileÑabout 10 minutes to record 1 minute of video. If you drag in multiple QuickTime movies, after the first movie saves, you must click OK and Save for each movie in succession. If you have one long movie, you may want to let it encode overnight.

    During encoding, a progress dialog box appears: When the encoding is complete, the files has been encoded as an MPEG files that appear in the Video CD window.

    Video CD must be the first session of a CD. To verify that the inserted CD is indeed blank, choose Disc Info from the Recorder menu.
