I have a XSVCD mascarading as a VCD. It works fine on the two standalone DVD players I've tested it on, but it is worthless to play on my Mac G4 computer.
I have only a 4-minute video. There is ample capacity on a CD-R to include a muxed mpeg file of high quality that could be opened by QuickTime Player and any number of media players without a lot of fuss.
I am using Toast 5 to burn. With Toast on a Mac I've never been able to burn a CD with two separate titles as I have done many times in the past using Easy CD Creator burner software on a Windows machine.
If I could have one CD with two separate titles, one for VCD and the other for computer, that would be ideal.

Use Nero, the newer version. It let you create VCD while give you the ability to add PC files on the disk. I always add Media player Classic and an autorun file so that it will run fullscreen when inserted in to the PC.

I believe I could do the same in Toast were I to add an MPEG stream and let the program create the necessary structure for the VCD disk. Mayb, maybe not. But regardless, I have a mpeg that is encoded for XSVCD at 720 x 480/
I have used MediaPipe with a templates linked in an article on the Videohelp.com website in order to encode for XSVCD. https://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/t173790.html
Another article explained how to use Missing MPEG Tools to make it appear to be VCD in order to trick certain SONY and other players that don't play SVCD. I did that as well. I generated a VCD 2.0 xml file and then a set of images to burn with Toast (Multitrack CD-ROM XA). http://homepage.mac.com/rnc/SonyTrick.html
Perhaps the same or similar workflow will work with Nero. I is difficult for me to find out because I have easy access to a PC.
So, I am hoping to find a solution that uses Toast or baring that, more explicit instructions for doing this on a PC.
Thanks,

...and VCDEasy knows that trick too. IMO the only app that should b used for authoring (S)VCD.
