Cancel the burning process in Toast, and then change the setting in the "Disc
Options" drawer from VCD to SVCD.
SVCDs hold far less than VCDs, due to the different video format involved.
Note that unless the recorded stream conformed to the VCD specifications for
MPEG-2, Toast will need to re-encode the recording, which takes time.

Burning DVDs

Perform the following steps to burn a recorded program to DVD:
• Open the EyeTV Programs window and select the video
recording you wish to archive by clicking on it once to
highlight it.
• Choose the Burn DVD... option from the File menu.
If you want to burn more than one recording to a DVD, then select the Export...
command multiple times, saving the file to your hard drive each time. When all
of your recordings have been exported, then drag them to the Video window in
Toast, and then select DVD in the "Disk Options" drawer.
Note that unless the recorded stream conformed to the DVD specifications for
MPEG-2, Toast will need to re-encode the recording, which takes time.

Playing Video CDs

EyeTV can now playback Video CDs, just like any other QuickTime file. Video
CDs have DAT files, with titles like AVSEQ01.DAT, in a MPEGAV directory. Simply
drag and drop these DAT files onto EyeTV, or navigate to them and open them
up using the Open QuickTime Movie command in the File menu. The Video CD
will start playing automatically once a DAT file is opened. To quit the Video CD,
close its video window.

Opening QuickTime Movies

EyeTV can now play back any QuickTime movie, along with audio-only files.
Just use Open QuickTime Movie command in the File menu, and then you can
present the movie at any size you wish, even full screen. You can even play AC3
