■ SVCD (Super Video CD): CD-Recordable disc in the SVCD
format, which can be played in many newer-model DVD players.
An SVCD holds approximately 15-20 minutes of video and results
in higher video quality than the VCD format, but is not as good as
the video quality in the DVD format.
Note While VCD and SVCD discs can be played by most newer
DVD players, many older DVD players will be unable to play these
types of discs.
■ DVD : DVD-Recordable disc, which can be played on almost any
DVD player. A DVD holds over 60 minutes of video and has the
highest video quality.
3 Select the type of video standard for the disc:
■ NTSC . Select this option if you want your disc recorded in the
NTSC video standard, compatible with televisions in North
America, Japan, and parts of South America and Asia.
■ PAL . Select this option if you want your disc recorded in the PAL
video standard, compatible with televisions in much of Europe
and Asia, and parts of South America.
4 From the Video Quality pop-up menu, select the type of video
encoding Toast uses to record your disc:
■ Standard. This type of encoding takes less time to encode, but the
quality is generally not as good as the High option. You might
choose this option if faster encoding speed is more important to
you than the video quality.
■ High . This type of encoding takes more time to encode, and the
quality is generally better than the Standard option. You might
choose this option if video quality is more important to you than a
faster encoding speed.
