Hi Everyone,

I've created a movie on my mac using iMovie 3, and now I'd like to create a SVCD (since I don't own a dvd burner, and CD's are cheap and SVCD's play on a lot of dvd players anyway).

To create SVCD's you need to have a mpeg-2 encoded file. I found a solution called TMPEG ENC, but it only runs on a PC. iMovie 3 will export AVI, Quicktime Movie, mpeg-4, and DV stream (amongst others), but not mpeg-2. So, at the moment I have to export the DV stream to the PC, then use the TMPEG ENC to convert to mpeg-2, and then use Nero to create the SVCD.

I saw on the Apple site that you can buy a mpeg-2 player license for quicktime, but it doesn't say that if you buy this and/or upgrade to quicktime pro that you can encode mpeg-2.

Is there a way to create SVCD's on a Mac, without having to use the dark side? I heard that Toast will create the SVCD layout, but there must be a Mac solution to do mpeg-2 encoding.

All help greatly appreciated,
Paul.
