sorry for all the posts, I am a total newb. I have all my pics on my PC. I backed them all up on dvd using Roxio easy cd creator. When I put the dvd in my powerbook it doesn't show anything. Any ideas? I have Toast installed on the PB too.
One sign of insanity is to keep doing the same thing hoping for a different result. Two possibilities: 1. Make sure that the file system that you use to burn your DVD is useable on the Mac. 2. Perhaps autofinalized DVDs are not truly finalized. If you can see the files when you open the DVD in Toast on the Mac, you may try to finalize the DVD on the Mac. Alternatively, make sure that your Windows Toast settings ensure true finalization.Learjet035 said:all I did was create a data dvd, dragged all my pics to it and let it burn. It auto finalizes. I runs fine on the PC but mac doesn't even recognize it. If I open toast, it sees it but not sure what to do with that. Guess I'm SOL. I'll try re-burning again and see what happens.

The way you worded that it sounds like you're saying ISO9660 isn't compliant with Windows, which it is. You can get plug-ins to read HFS/+ on PC. I have it, and you can burn HFS on windows, yet you can't read them... So strange.yellow said:I believe the CD/DVDs need to be burned ISO9660 complient for them to show up on anything except Windows. The actual media used won't make a difference (unless it's DVD+ media and your Mac doesn't read DVD+ media..)

What I was trying to say was that I was under the impressions that BY DEFAULT, burning data DVDs/CDs in Windows did NOT create ISO9660 compliant DVDs/CDs. I was under the impression that you had to explicitly tell the burning software to do this.. Am I incorrect?
