I have toast, but when I drag the files onto the toast window it says that I have set my mulitplexor to VCD. What's a multiplexor? Where can I get one? Is it free?

thanks,

I have no idea what that is. I finally made a VCD simply by dragging and dropping video in MPEG format onto Toast. I used a CD-RW disk, not a CD-R, which seems to have been the culprit in my previous inability to make a VCD. That or my DVD player is picky.

Maybe your source video is not MPEG?

Make your slideshow in iMovie.

Open up your Roxio Toast Titanium folder. Open up teh Roxio Video folder. Open the file called "Turning iMovies into Video CDs ".

It says, in part,
The file "Toast Video CD Export" adds an "Export to Toast Video CD" menu item to iMovie's QuickTime export options. To install it, copy the file "Toast Video CD Export" into the iMovie:Resourceslugins folder. The file "Toast Video CD Support" allows Toast to automatically convert QuickTime files into Video CDs. To install it, copy the file "Toast Video CD Support" into the Extensions folder. Note: iMovie 2.0.1 or later is required.

Using Toast to turn iMovies into Video CDs
There are two ways to turn iMovies into Video CDs. The first way is accessed from within iMovie. After you have finished your iMovie creation, follow this four-step procedure:
1. Select "Export Movie" from the "File" menu
2. Select QuickTime from the "Export to" menu
3. Select "Toast Video CD" from the "formats" menu
(Note: Use NTSC for the United States and PAL for Europe)
4. Press "Export"
The second method is to select the "Video CD" format in Toast and then simply drag and drop any QuickTime movie onto the Toast Window. Toast 5 Titanium will do the rest. It’s that easy.

caveat: i've never done it.

If you're using a version of iMovie later than (I believe) 2.0.1, doing the VCD exporting from within iMovie won't work and you'll have to save the DV file and use the "drag the file into Toast" method.

I found out the hard way that if you're running a later iMovie version and have the Toast Video CD Export plugin installed, when you try to export you'll be dumped back into the main iMovie window with no error message.
