I burn lots of CD’s for Mac users, and the problem I’ve had is getting the file system set right. Roxio v6 allowed changes as above, but you must change it for every burn, a ludicrous oversight. For this reason I migrated to Nero v5.5.10.42 (latest version is v6 or higher), which retains its settings. I have the following ISO settings:
File/Dir. name length: ISO Level 2
Format: Mode 1
Character Set: ISO 9660
Joliet: Enabled
If ISO Level 1 is set, you will not be able to read more than 8.3 characters in the filename. Macs will truncate the filenames to something like File10~1.jpg, which can cause problems if info after that point is truncated.
Warning: Many Macs can’t read more than 31 characters in the filename regardless of the CD-burning method. I think OS-X, maybe even OS9, can negotiate more–but in the interest of compatibility I never exceed 31 characters including the extension.
This may address file-naming issues, but if the Macs won’t read the CD at all, I don’t have a clue what the problem might be.

I work on a PC, and I burn a lot of my Photoshop files to disc to take to various printers around town. I use Roxio Creator Classic 6.0, and the
discs
cannot be opened on Macs. Can anyone recommend some CD burning software
that
will make a disc that is readable on both platforms (and please – spare me the Mac vs. PC debate – I’ve already heard it… 🙂 )
Thanks!
