How do I burn a 1-Disc VCD from a DivX with Subtitles on MacOSX?
I actually do have the Philips 642, which is totally a great player! To be honest, my main reason for wanting it to be a VCD is that I wanted to make copies of it to turn on other folks to the film (in my fantasy, it’s basically “Well, if everyone finds out about this film and likes it, perhaps they’ll write to DVD houses and let them know people want it and then we can all get legit copies!”, not that it’ll actually probably work out that way..8) — that’s why I was hoping for a VCD, just because, well, blank DVDs are a little expensive/take forever to burn, and even though I can play DivX on my DVD player, I’m not sure if _everybody_ can. And, yeah — as item notes out, my brain is going “Well, hey, I can fit this here file on a CD! So THEREFORE I should OBVIOUSLY be able to put this wholly different format on a CD too!” Also — for the record, because I was really curious, I had a CD I burned of the raw AVI + Subtitle file and threw it in my Philips 642, and it played the movie, but
I’ve found the box set (and the individual japanese DVD) already (actually linked them in my post on Matsumoto), and, well, if I had 40 dollars per friend to spend on it, well, I would, but I don’t really want to get into this whole Can Of Worms (I know it’s not entirely ethical, but there isn’t a US version available, and it’s _technically_ illegal to hack a player anyway, which is a) stupid and b) probably a lesser Moral Sin than doing the whole VCD thing anyway), but my main question is asking on how I can do a 1-CD version of this movie that Video Neophyte Types can play in their DVDs without me having to explain the various rigamarole involved; I’m just wanting something that people can throw in their DVD player and get an awesome film with subtitles that won’t: a) Cost me a bunch and b) (Secondary thing, hence the VCD and all that): Be of good enough quality that you can see the film and enjoy it with it detracting too much, but
