COME ON! SOMEBODY HELP!

[Beatnik]

I have searched this site, I have read the faqs, I have searched the net, and I cannot find anything that is helping. The problem: I am trying to burn a simple, 5 min. video to VCD. I am doing so on my mac. I've attempted a number of times, using CD-R media, and two different types of CD-RW media. NONE of them work. The CD-R and the FIRST CD-RW stutter in my DVD player. The second CD-RW just gets spit out by my burner every time I try to insert it. I am tired of buying CD-R(W)'s just to turn them into coasters.

Some information that is most likely useful:
I am using an 867Mhz. Mac with the SuperDrive (CD-RW/DVD-R) and I'm burning with Toast 5.0.2 (or whatever the newest one is)...

As is evident, I am becoming quite frustrated and so your help would be MUCH appreciated...
