From: Daniel Kendell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Does anybody know of any other programs for burning DVD-Videos on the iMac apart from iDVD.
Yes, there are several programs that can create DVD-ready images for Toast to burn. There are a couple of programs that will burn SVCD or VCD discs (that's CD-R media, not DVD media) as well.
I don't like iDVD because it needs .mov files and i have none!
Um ... you DO know that Quicktime Pro (and other programs) can *convert* those MPEGs to MOVs, right?
You probably want FFMPEGX, or you might want to wait for Toast Titanium 6.I have a pile of MPEGs that i want to burn. - Also _if_ possible, is there one that isn't too picky about the quality of the file? Most of the videos i have won't play in Quicktime, only VLC.
FFMPEGX. I use it all the time. I don't know if you'd call it "good" in the sense that it isn't very mac-like (naturally -- it's a GUI for a suite of UNIX programs), but it does the job. Altivec-friendly even!Failing that, anyone know any good VCD Writing software for OS X that will accept AVI files and MPEG files, or a reliable encoder for the files?
Basicly, I have a bunch of videos that I would like to burn onto media that my DVD player will use (DVD/VCD). - The files may be slightly corrupt, i don't know, they just won't play in quicktime. - What programs will do it?
I collect music videos, which come to me in all forms -- DIVX, MPEG, AVI, WMP, you name it. Between VLC and FFMEGX (and Toast for burning), and a few other helper tools, the only thing that stops me are Realplayer files ... but who cares about that stuff anyway! :)
Depending on the quality of the music video files, I may burn a VCD or an SVCD (the latter is MUCH higher quality, akin to SVHS). They play great in my Apex DVD and most other machines, but not at all (for some reason) on most Sony DVD players (including PS2's) that I run across. Pity.
