I wrote a little "howto" for creating VCDs, because I do it so seldom, and wanted to remember how to do it once I needed to do it again. :) I came up with two ways to do it easily; both ways start with iMovie, and both ways end up with a VCD.
The iVCD method was done with version 1.1, before they had menu support. It has proven good for VHS-tape-like VCDs (e.g. one movie per disc; auto-starts when you hit play). The VCD Builder method has proven useful for DVD-like VCDs (e.g. multiple movies per disc, complete with menu system).
Using iVCD: 1- Export to Quicktime (Full Quality DV) from iMovie 2- Open iVCD and create project with all QT .mov files 3- Click convert 4- Click image 5- Click Burn
Using ffmpegX or iVCD; VCD Builder; and MissingMediaBurner 1- Export to Quicktime (Full Quality DV) from iMovie 2a- open ffmpegX and convert all movies with Quick Preset "VCD (NTSC)" 2b- Open iVCD and create project with all QT .mov files; click convert 3- Create VCD Builder project 4- Import all movies into VCD Builder project 5- Set up VCD menus as desired 6- click Make Images (bin/cue) 7- Open MissingMediaBurner, load cue file from #6 8- Burn
I neglected to mention that step 2 here is an OR - choose 2a OR 2b - do not do both.
