Is there any software that will let me take 10minutes of DVD video and burn it to a regular CD that will play in a settop DVD player?
Will Toast 5 or 6 do this?

What you're talking about is a MiniDVD.

Toast will burn it no problem, but only rare DVD players will play a MiniDVD. When they see a CD, they don't expect DVD video on it and thus won't play it.

Should play fine on computers though, if the CD-ROM drive is fast enough.

Another alternative is to buy a DVD player that can play raw mpeg2 files. My 7-year old has a Daewoo dvd player that can play mp3's. It allows you to navigate the cd to find the folder the mp3's are at. I put in a cd with a raw mpeg2 file and to my surprise, it played great, sound and all.

this is easy, get a extration app like dvdxdv, export it, then select a video cd toast, select yer mov, toast will encode to a mpeg, and then burn in toast and it will play on a dvd player just fine.

That's not a DVD on CD. That's just a VCD. ie. Low res and low quality.

I spent about a month trying to do this, and it's virtually impossible to find a set top DVD player that will play MiniDVD's. It's a bummer too! For someone who just needs a master of a commercial or other short subject video project, why waste a DVD-R? Yes, most will play fine in a computer, but.....
