I am trying o burn cd from pc to read in mac?? - GoFuckYourself.com

Jenna Jameson · 07-14-2001, 06:11 PM

Ok, I figured I'd ask the pros... I am trying to burn a cd (of pix) on my PC (using a Plextor Burner) that can be read on my Mac. Do I need to use a special format feature? Is it possible? Do I need to purchase different software to do it?? I HAVE TRIED AND THE MAC CAN'T READ THE DISC AT ALL....

Hmmm...correct me if I'm wrong, but I was always under the impression that all CDs used the same format.

I'ved popped mac CDs and Playstation CDs into my PC DVD-rom drive, and it read them just fine.

Jenna, it doesn't matter if you read a pix CD on a Mac or a PC. Both can handle .gif and .jpg files without any problems (and others too).

Of course you need a program on the Mac to view them though, but I guess you got PS.

does your PC read it? did you close your session?

yeah for sure pc and mac read the pix, gif and jpg, with no problem...as they both do on the web....just make sure not to include a pc pic viewer if the cd is for a mac user.....but if you have any web browser on your mac you will be able to read the image files....

The PC is burning and formating the disc. The Mac can't open and read the disc

JJ

wiZd0m · 07-14-2001, 06:56 PM

Which format are you burning your disk into?

[1] ISO-9660
[2] Rock Ridge
[3] HFS
[4] Joliet
[5] Romeo
[6] ISO/IEC 13346 and ISO/IEC 13490

If you want me to explain you in details, just give me a call, (514) 955-4262

Jenna, call Wisdom, if he doesnt find a solution most probably there's no solution

This is a tricky one because of issues with long filenames and file attributes. Mac CD-ROMs are typically burned with an HFS filesystem, not ISO-9660, and WinNT uses a different scheme for long filenames (Joliet) than UNIX does (Rock Ridge). Some variants of UNIX will recognize the Joliet names, but neither Windows nor the Mac understands Rock Ridge. You might be able to use an HFS CD-ROM on a platform other than the Mac, but if you're distributing pictures, it's not wise to assume that your customers will be able to do the same.

The easiest way to create a disc that will work on all platforms is to use plain level 1 ISO-9660, with 8+3 filenames and no special file attributes. If you need to include Mac applications as well as data -- or pretty much anything with a resource fork -- this simple approach won't work. Also, some older versions of Mac OS and HP/UX might not work as expected unless you record the disk without the usually-invisible version number (";1").

There is an Apple-defined extension to ISO-9660 that allows the Mac file and creator types to be present on an ISO-9660 filesystem. This allows most of the features of the Mac filesystem on an otherwise plain ISO-9660 disc. It's not clear how many of the software products take advantage of this, but "mkhybrid" seems to.

A common way to construct a disc for the Mac and PC is as a "hybrid" disc that has both an ISO-9660 filesystem and an HFS filesystem. To save space, the data itself is shared by both sections of the disc. This is possible because the ISO-9660 directory entries use an absolute block offset on the disc, so they can point at data residing in the HFS filesystem.

There are various applications that will do HFS/ISO-9660 hybrids. Roxio's Toast for the Mac and "mkhybrid" for the PC are two examples.

The issue of Joliet vs. Rock Ridge can also be solved, by including both kinds of extensions on the same disc. The "mkhybrid" program can include Joliet, Rock Ridge, and HFS all on the same disc. You can even have files appear on one kind but not the other, and rename files on the fly, allowing you to have a "readme.txt" with different contents for Mac, UNIX, and Windows.
