I want to be able to create menus and then burn to a VCD. Any options? I know that iDVD will do it, but I do not have a superdrive. I am looking for an option that will burn to CD-R's
Thanks

Are there any programs for the Mac like MyDVD?

Your idea is flawed.
If you want to create a menu system on a disc to be able to be user navigatable then you are stuck with using DVD only. No other medium supports menu systems.
The only other way i can see to crete a CD based media presentation is to learn Director and produce an interactive CD-ROM, but i suspect you wanted the versatility of VCD.
As far as i know there are no other comparable products to MyDVD on the mac. Which is a pity because one thing i've always thought is that us mac users are sometimes somewhat limited when it comes down to choice of software compared to our windows using 'brothers'.

Actually, if you burn the CD as a SVCD, you can create menus. I've seen quite alot of VCDs with menus, and they all say "DVD Version"... implying they used SVCDs.
But, unfortunately, I am not aware of any program that can make SVCD menus on the Mac, but if you use Toast you can make SVCDs.

VCD
I never made one,but it seems like I remember a menu system when poking around in VCD Builder. Check Versiontracker for it.

Whoops my mistake, just never thought it was possible.
So is there a specific coding language to write the menu's in.
Do you still have to use mattes to indicate if a 'button' is highlighted or selected?
Is this available for the mac then?
