View Full Version : Vcd?????? Patrick Coker February 22nd, 2003, 07:07 PM does anyone know how to do a VCD on a mac? I have a 667 Ti book with a combo drive. thanks ahead of time Jeff Donald February 22nd, 2003, 07:16 PM Do you have Toast (http://www.roxio.com/en/products/toast/index.jhtml)? Patrick Coker February 22nd, 2003, 07:29 PM ummm, no. should I get it? Jeff Donald February 22nd, 2003, 07:41 PM It makes VCDs by dropping QuickTime files on it's window. It encodes them into VCD format, then prompts for a blank CD and burns it. Couldn't be any easier. Depending on processor speed it may be slow. My dual 450 encodes at about 8 to 1 (8 minutes to make 1 minute of VCD). I have an associate that encodes at about 3 to 1 with his dual 1 gig. Patrick Coker February 22nd, 2003, 09:26 PM great. how much does a CD hold? Jeff Donald February 22nd, 2003, 09:39 PM A standard 650mb disc holds about 70 minutes of video on a VCD. The video quality is on par with VHS. It is not as good as DVD. Patrick Coker February 23rd, 2003, 09:52 AM that's cool, thanks Marcus Farrar December 5th, 2003, 09:39 AM Will Toast allow you to use more than one video clip on one CD. Like lets say I have Toast Ti. 5 and want to make a VCD with 3 different 5 min spots. Can I do this with Toast Ted Springer December 5th, 2003, 09:53 AM Yes. But you can't set up a fancy menu or anything like that. It'll be like tracks on an audio CD. |
