I had this same problem and scratched my head. Give this a shot, its what worked for me. Open toast I use Toast Titanium 8. Select Burn Bin/Cue file option. Select CD-R for your burn media and burn away. Once that is done, use it in your standalone DVD player. Mine turned out to be a VCD that played flawlessly I might add. Do not, I repeat do not test it in your computer unless you know that you have a program to recompile VCD's, thats where I kept having trouble, you may want to check here, http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers to make sure your DVD player is VCD compatible. Hope this helps.
