Re: Hybrid disc
Hi Acoording to my information you can only burn hybrid cd's with Roxio Toast You can burn Hybrid CDs using Ahead Nero, but it's always been a pain to mount Mac volumes on a PC so the hybrid can be created. Thanks for the feedback so far, keep it coming! There's also a little software called MacImage that can create hybrid disc image, so that you can build fully xplat disc from a PC, without any Mac-formatted SCSI hard drive. http://www.macdisk.com/macimgen.php3 (even if you don't use the software, there's lot of articles on this site that are worth reading) Then you can burn the image with the buring software of your choice (well, at last with Nero it worked perfectlly so I havn't tried several) cheers, séb [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

RE: Hybrid disc
Hi Ross, Go to this link http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/technotes.html under the heading "creating projectors" you'll find all you need to know I guess. Technote 16743 deals with projector bundles i.e. a combined projector for mac OS9 and mac OSX. Also on the site of Roxio you can find some explanation on how to make a cross platform app. Acoording to my information you can only burn hybrid cd's with Roxio Toast, that means burning on a mac.

RE: Hybrid disc
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..
