Are there any FAQs on the net covering the making of VCDs on mac??? I would like to get info on both VCD 1.1 and 2.0.

There has been a lot of talk about loosing sound using the mac, but are there any real answers to this problem?

I have used InternetDiscWriter Demo, it works but I can't get Toast to burn the produced image...

I've had success using Heuris's MPEG-1 Power Professional. You can get it at www.terran.com.
