Xvcd with Query VCD Maker

Is anyone making xvcd with Query VCD Maker Personal?
I get an error message when making an image with xvcd.
I have tried cheating bit rate and fixing pack sizes but VCD Maker would not take a xvcd mpeg file.
Is there other way to cheat the app?

try using VCDGear and converting the MPG to BIN by selecting the Toast Ready option. Then burn with Toast in VCD mode.

Thanks major.
but I am trying to make VCDs with menus by VCD Maker.
So I would like to find the way to go xvcd with VCD Maker, not with Toast.

Can you burn XVCDs with toast by converting incompitable mpgs to .bin with vcdgrear?

yes, you can burn many kinds of XVCDs that way, however MPG packet size must be 2324.

To make VCD, SVCD, or XVCD toast ready .img files that support menus, you may need to author a xml. Then use vcdToolsX create the tracks. Toast will love them. Will VCD Maker output the xml?

VCD Maker won't make xml, I believe. But simpley it outputs image files. It comes with GUI to easily operated. You drag and drop mpeg files and pict files(for still image) and draw lines inbetween them.
