Re: Multisession CDs in OS X (was: various unrelated)

[James S Jones]

You can burn multisession CDs using Disk Copy. (Note that I haven't 
tried this, but I've seen it described several places, including at 
<www.macbase.com>. Search for "burn multisession"--direct links to this 
item don't work.)

This is the basic strategy:

        start Disk Copy
        create a disk image just large enough to hold the first session files
        copy the files to the image
        unmount the image
        select Burn Image from the Disk Copy file menu (or, <cmd><b>)
        navigate to and select image file
        click the Burn button
        in the options dialog*, select Allow Additional Burns
        insert blank disk and burn
For subsequent sessions, insert previously burned, multisession disk. 
Presumably, for the final session, you would uncheck Allow Additional 
Burns.

*Click the "expand dialog" arrow if the options don't appear.

I don't know about windows XP (my celeron 333 loves '98 too much...),
but I've had a wee problem with burning discs in OS X (10.1.5, mind
you, I don't know if 10.2 fixed it). Using a G4 Quicksilver, Disc
Burner (gasp) won't burn multi-session discs.  A bit annoying - it
inspired me to boot to OS 9 and drag out my toast install disk.
