standard for providing features such as playback control functions
and still image playback functions where the user can change the
playback order from the menu.
*The Macintosh version of ImageMixer
1.5 does not support direct writing to CD-R, but does allow you to
save a disc image compliant with Roxio's DVD/CD writing software
"Toast". Use "Toast" to create a disc from the disc image created in
ImageMixer 1.5.
The "Easy Video CD" utility is also provided
for easy creation of Video CDs from video on the tape of a video
camera connected over a USB connection. This utility uses a
wizard-style interface to guide the user through the simple steps of
creating a Video CD.
