Hello! If I download a .smi file on my pc then burn it onto a cd using roxio easy cd creator, will it run on my mac?
Like this?

Yes, exactly. I've done it a lot, using the CD burner on the PC here in the office. Make SURE you're not using Direct CD to burn it, but the Data Disk app in EZ CD Creator.
If you notice on Apple's Web site it's an smi.bin file. If you keep it as a binary, .bin file you're ok. If downloading from a web browser it offers to save as a .txt or 'all files' choose 'all files'
Then use STuffit Expander to convert the .bin file (drag and drop the file on Stuffit expander to open)
If you're going to do this a lot, get this: <http://www.tempel.org/joliet/index.html>
It's an extension to let the Mac properly read the Joliet file system CD's that EZCDC makes, the long file names will be preserved. (to 32 chars, at least)
