toast 6.03 and quicktime vcd export?

[unison]

I installed Toast 6.03 and I cant find the plugin for quicktime to export videos in vcd files for toast. I'd like to use this to export some videos from final cut pro into toast vcd files (through quicktime). Where can I get (download?) this plugin and is there any other easier way to export from Final Cut Pro to vcd/svcd?

Thanks!

Toast 6 no longer has a VCD encoder plug-in for QuickTime. Toast 6 contains it own encoder now. To make VCDs in Toast 6, add your FCP movie (or reference file) to a VCD project and burn. Before the disc is actually burned, Toast will convert to the material to MPEG.

thank you for the info!

but i guess i have to export the file from final cut pro to some other format before putting it with toast, right? or i can simply save the final cut pro file and send it to toast? i shall try that...

As Anty said,
You should be dragging and dropping your Exported
FCP movie ( in FCP4, go File-->Export-->FCP Movie)
and this will make a Quicktime Compatible Movie file.
Toast likes files that are QT Spec, so dragging and dropping
the FCP movie file into the Video CD window will insure
Toast will like it.

hum when I try to export the video i dont get that export --> FCP , I get other options like Quicktime or Compressor... what shall I do?

[terryj]

which version of FCP are you using?
It is common in FCP 4.01....

...and every other version of FCP. Look closer.

I have FCP 4.1 and when I go File --> Export, I get the following options:

Quiktime Movie
Using Compressor
Quicktime Conversion
For Soundtrack
For LiveType
Audio to AIFF
Audio to OMF
some cinematools options
EDL
XML

and thats about it. Maybe what you mean is that I should export as a quicktime movie. If so, what settings should I use?

Perfect.

I use the following, but it's only because I have had great results with
this codec. You can use the standard (Video) codec just as well.

Settings: 3ivx 4.5 codec
Best Quality
Options--> One Pass Average Bitrate
29fps
Keyframe every 90 frames

Sound: Uncompressed
Stereo
2 Channel 16 bit

For best quality, use motion jpeg in between.
