Have you tried ISO9660 format ?

I gave that up ages ago. It creates (or used to... I haven't used it in several years) file name issues when the disks are read on Macs. Without a special extension installed, a Mac trying to read them would truncate long file names to 8.3 DOS format names... not pretty and very confusing. I don't understand your issues with burning hybrid disks. I have hundreds (thousands probably) of them burned with various versions of Toast through 5.x on a variety of machines running OS-9 through Panther. Its been years since I've had a complaint of an unreadable disk and never any crashes while burning. These go out to clients on all sorts of platforms. I've never burned in anything but the default hybrid format since it was introduced (Toast 4.x I think). Its my understanding that the hybrid format is ISO9660 with a special Mac directory added to solve the file name issue without requiring special software on the reading Mac.
