Hybrid CD's are very difficult to burn
They were back in Toast v3.x days. Everything since its quite simple. Leave Toast (full version... not true of some lite versions) set at defaults. Drag files/folders you want to the Toast window. Hit the burn button. Perfect cross platform CDs with no long filename issues. Works every time. Not sure where the difficulty is.
I have no trouble reading CDs on a Mac that are burned with XP's built in burning utility... no special settings or software. Insert blank CD... drag files/folders to the new window... hit the burn CD button. Can't get much simpler than that. Cross platform issues with CDs left the building years ago. I don't understand the problems/difficulties people are citing.
I'm talking data CD's here... like folders of images that a photographer would be likely to pass onto a client. Multi-media content may be different and I have a feeling that's what you're often dealing with. In that situation you're probably setting up temp volumes and trying to burn those to CD. In that case, yes it gets a considerably more complicated (cross platform) but jumping through those hoops is totally unnecessary for a photographer passing images onto a client.
