Other iVCD features:

	Optional one-step “convert+image+burn” operation
	CPU Usage Control allows you to manage the amount of CPU used by iVCD during the Convert process. If you're using iVCD during the day and want to work on something else while iVCD converts video in the background, use this feature to reduce the amount of CPU used by iVCD while you use your computer for a foreground task, such as reading your email.
	Support for CDR Disk At Once (cdrdao) in additional support iVCD provides for drives not supported by Apple's Disc Recording APIs. Consistent burn failures using Apple Disc Recording APIs under Mac OS X 10.3 may be remedied by selecting the CDR Disk At Once (cdrdao) option instead
	Lighten video feature rescues video that's too dark Sometimes encoded MPEG video appears darker than your original movie. If the encoded movie is too dark, you can adjust the lightness and re-encode the video so that the resulting MPEG appears brighter.
	TV Safe Border feature rescues video that appears clipped on the TV screen Unlike computer monitors, televisions do not display the complete picture. Action on the edges of the screen may be clipped if they fall outside the Action Safe Area. Similarly for Titles. If you did not take these safe areas into account when you made your video, you may see come clipping of action or text on some TV screens. Use the iVCD TV Safe Black Border effect and iVCD will shrink your video into the Action Safe Area. For most video this will result in acceptable display on a television.
