The best method would be to buy Toast and convert it directly from the project. I would suggest exporting it with Motion JPEG A or B and then converting that into a MPEG-1 stream for VCD use.

Toast is a great encoder(since it is required to burn VCDs anyway) but another good one is Cleaner 5.

Since you have X, a very GREAT quality idea is going for SVCD.
