How do I remove gaps from VCD with TOAST?

[r e faust]

Hi,

I have several mpeg files I want to burn to VCD. These are from a concert and I need to remove the 2 second pause I get between files so they run straight through.

How do I get TOAST to burn these files without pausing? I've tried DOA but that doesn't stop my DVD player waiting between files.

Thanks

You'll need a VCD authoring app that allows you to insert entrypoints into the MPEG track. All of your concert clips will have to be joined into one continuous MPEG for this to work correctly.

I don't know of any VCD authoring apps for Mac OS X that utilizes entrypoints. Whenever I make a VCD and want to use entrypoints, I use VirtualPC and run the PC app VCDEasy. It will output .bin/.cue files that you can burn in Toast.

You could also try using mpgtx to join your mpegs into one file.
Assuming your mpgs meet the vcd standards, toast should accept it and burn it (without re-encoding).
only problem is there wouldn't be any way to advance through the clip I think.
