In Mac OS X, just insert a blank CD, drag the folder or individual files to the CD icon on the desktop, then drag the CD icon to the TRASH icon, which immediately turns into a BURN icon. follow the directions, and you will burn a cross-platform CD. The only drawback to doing this is it burns the whole blank, you cannot do a multi-session burn this way.

Otherwise, use Toast.

Or a $12.50 app called BURNZ

I'm talking data CD's here... like folders of images that a

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.

Yes, my experience is of burning "real" Hybrid CD's as opposed to Custom
Hybrid CD's.


I think the problem applies to a photographer too. Just depends on how much
you want to put on the CD. For example, if you do a simple drag and drop,
can you put 650mb of images? My understanding, happy to be corrected, is you
cannot. You have to take extra steps so that the same media is shared across
the Mac HFS+ volume and the ISO 9660 format and burned just once.


While it's fairly easy on the Mac to burn Hybrid CD's using a full version
of Toast, it's also fairly easy on the PC if you use CDEveryWhere (though
you can run into problems). With other software, you will need someway of
importing a Mac HFS+ volume.
