How to burn centropy mpegs with toast?

[dymond]

I am on a lcd imac, using os x 10.1.4. Using toast 5.1.3. I am trying to burn a VCD of a centropy mpeg file. I cannot view the mpeg file in the finder. I tried vcdtools and for some reason the 702 meg file (59 minutes) becomes a 73 mg file (7 minutes) using vcdxgen/vcdx build. Does anybody know how to convert the centropy mpeg into a version that is readable by
a) the finder and
b) toast directly.
I am able to use vlc to view the files and they are great quality, but I need to be able to get them onto cds viewable on standard dvd players.
Any help would be great.

Thanx

the problem is one of the following:
the file 702megs, could be to large for toast( toast doesnot support overburn which alot of centropy files are) or it is a mpeg2 file which cannot be read by mac. i usually use discribe to copy centropy svcds, hope that helps- bloo

Centropy I believe tends to release only SVCDs.Go to versiontracker.com and look for MPEGinfo and GNUVCDXTools. Use MPEG info to determine what kind of MPEG it is and then use GNUVCDXTools to create first an XML file of the MPEG and then create *.img images of the XML. Then burn the *.img in Toast >Other>Multitrack CD-ROM XA. They must be in order and disregard the .toc and _pregap.
