    Are you sure that it can actually play vcd??

    If so, does it make any specifications such as, vcd1.1 or vcd2.0? or willit only play cd-rw's or anything?? :)

    Well you'd need a dvd burner to burn a dvd disk! I suppose you could use minidvd but that only allows a few minutes on an 80min disk so you really dont want to be swapping and swapping over and over again, it would ruin the movie :(

    Ok then :)

    Youd have to encode the file for dvd and then use something that can bvurn a movie as dvd for you like Ulead DVD Workshop 2 perhaps!

    Sorry man but I don't have a mac so I probably wouldn't be of much help. Also I dont give out email addresses/nicknames for anything because of a problem I had the last time I did!
