it's all possible :D... except autorun on mac OSX. Do a search around the list, as 
there is quite a good article on it somewhere..

basically it boils down to burning a 'custom hybrid' disc (how toast on the mac calls 
it). Where you can define the mac partition and the PC partition and ANY data shared 
between both. (so you can simply have Seperate stub projectors and everything else 
shared between platforms.)

being compatible with OS8 will force you to make 2 projectors on the mac side (classic 
(8.5 and up) and OSX). If you don't need to be compatible with 8.5 then you could use 
an application bundle which bundles both os9 and OSX apps and fire the appropriate one 
depending on the platform..

Hi List

Trust clients to say "we want this project to work on Mac and PC" and then
look at you blankly when you mention OSX.

Authoring for this hasn't been a problem really (there will be another post
on the way though) but I need a few pointers on some finer details of a
Hybrid disc.

The project needs to run on Windows 98 and above, MacOS 8 & 9, and OSX. So
we're looking at a Windows projector, a MacOS Classic projector and a MacOSX
projector, right? Now, all three projects need to be on the same disc and
the appropriate projector fires off for the particular OS running (I'm not
too concerned with Mac autorun at the moment, but this will be coming soon).

Now I freely admit that I'm pretty dumb when it comes to the Mac (bad me I
know - circumstances have slowed me up) so what would be the best way of
having 2 Mac projectors on the same "side" of the disc? Will the OSX
projector be hidden from MacOS 8 & 9 (and vice versa) or will I have to name
them "projectOS8n9" and "projectOSX"?

Also, the project uses digital video quite a lot and although I think I can
squeeze 3 seperate copies of the project onto a single disc (one for each
projector) how easy would it be to optimise this like having a single set of
videos common to all 3 projectors? Or maybe just the 2 Mac projectors
sharing a common "media" folder?

TIA

Ross
