[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1065366, member: 56231"] Well done Sherlock Holmes! You've reminded me of a similar situation when a friend was burning CDs for me with his Win 98 setup. My Mac couldn't read them. I burned a CD of photos for my friend using Toast 6, and his Win machine wouldn't read that! I notice that when I used Titanium 7 nowadays, it gives me the option of burning for Mac & PC, Mac-only or PC-only. I also recall reading, about two years ago, on another Mac forum, the issue of how the Mac and Win OS burn disks differently, hence the move by Roxio in its later releases of Toast to provide wider, or 'universal' options. [I don't recall however any mention of DirectCD. Perhaps it was Nero.] I agree about using an interim media to transfer the files. As you suggest, the OP might consider re-burning the dvd, with an external dvd drive, using Toast, [U]making sure[/U] that the file format of the duplicated dvd(s) is Mac-compatible. [/QUOTE]
