Making a Super Video CD

A Super Video CD holds approximately 20 minutes of video or slideshows

and offers better quality than a Video CD, but menu navigation is limited.

This CD can be played in some set-top DVD players. Consult your DVD

player manual to see if it supports Super Video CD playback. A Video CD is

a better choice for playback in a DVD player if you only have a CD recorder

in your Mac. See Making a Video CD on page 89.

To play on a computer, you may need additional player software that

supports Super Video CDs. Search for “VCD player” at

www.versiontracker.com for options.

To make a Super Video CD:

1 At the left side of the Toast window, click Video and choose Super

Video CD.

2 Choose optional disc settings:

■

Video Quality: Toast must compress video to fit onto the CD.

Choose the quality you want to have for the compressed video.

Better quality takes longer to process.

■

Good: Suitable for simple video, such as people talking –

fastest processing time.

■

Better: Suitable for most video – average processing time.

■

Best: Suitable for complex video, such as fast motion –

slowest processing time.

■

Menu Style: Choose the style for the menu background image,

text and buttons.

■

Add original photos: Select this option to include a copy of the

original source photos from your slideshows in a folder on the

CD so they can be accessed in a Macintosh or Windows

computer.
