If the OS 9 CD is the one that came with your system, I couldn't say what the problem is. If not, then it's possible that you formatted your HD as UFS, which OS 9 may not recognise.

Normally I am not an advocate of partitioning hard drives, but if you are working with video you *want* to partition the hard drive. You *want* to keep the system and the video separate of each other. This allows you to easily erase the partition with your video on it when you are done with a project (much faster than defragging) without interfering with your system. > As in this case, I did not partition the huge HD.

With the full (and vastly better) Roxio Toast going for around $60, why not just upgrade? The iMovie-to-VCD plug-in alone is worth that, IMHO, and you get OS X compatibility. _Chas_ Come to ...
