Write more than one file to VCD with VF?

Aloha all. I'm trying to create a Video CD with several of my videos, each approx 50MB in size. However, when I try to create a video disk using VF, I can only write one file to the CD (Make Movie/Write Movie to Video CD). This is a huge waste of CD space. Is there a way to write multiple videos using VF? Now, I have to render the movies, the close VF, open Roxio's Easy CD Creator, and create the VCD through that prog. Works fine, but I'd prefer sticking with one prog.
Many thanks.

Since I have yet to be able to burn a CD ith videofactory, I may not be the best to talk about this subject, but from what I gather from the forums and manual you are not able to do this with VF. The VCD functions of VF are pretty limited. The only way would be to render them back to back into the same file I believe.

I use TMPGEnc to render the DV files into SVCD Mpeg format and then just use Nero to burn multiple mpegs to the VCD. I am sure Easy CD is capable of the same thing, more or less, but I haven't used it.

But again, to answer your question, no, I don't believe VF can write multiple mpegs to a disc to be seperately selectable from your VCD's main menu.

VF only burns a single movie to VCD.

Just for those wondering... Easy CD 5 can burn multiple VCD, but not even a single SVCD. The standard versions of Easy CD (that comes with many CD burners) can't do any kind of VCD, you need the "Deluxe" verson. Nero 5.5 can do both multiple VCD and SVCD. Both Easy CD 5 and Nero allow adding a simple menu to your CD disks including a background picture.
