Hi :) first post.

This is probably a really simple thing but, I'm trying to create a dual platform CD with projectors created on the PC and Mac. I use a PC at home and at Uni a Mac (communication design course) so I need to burn both versions of my project onto a single CD. I have access to a CD-R drive at home so this is the drive I want to use.

So far I cannot get it to work, I've tried creating a projector on the Mac and copying it across onto my PC to burn to the CD with my PC projector. The result is that the PC version works fine on the PC. When using a Mac the projector just wont work.

Is this a CD burning problem? Do I need to burn the CD on a Mac? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
 
you have to burn the CD on a mac... copy all files - including all PC ones (EXCEPT THE PC AUTORUN FILE) to a mac and THEN burn all files (including the pc autorun accessed via a network) to a cd.

 
Thanks Philbert, I may have to resort to that but I recently found a piece of software call CDEveryWhere(.com) that is meant to do what I want to do, all on a PC. You export the Mac files using StuffitMac and extract them with Stuffit in a certain format on the PC. It then will burn a dual format disc including Mac&PC autorun files that it generates for you. I'll post again once I've had a chance to try it.:)
