iDVD and DVD SP do not burn “Data Disks”
I believe the build in disk buner will work fine -
I was asleep… Just open a blank on the desktop and drag files to it. then when you eject it will ask you if you want to burn it.

From my experiences PCs won’t see the disc if you burn it that way

> From my experiences PCs won’t see the disc if you burn it that way< > I’ve run in to the same issue with PC’s not being able to mount the DVD-ROM disc. Sorry to say only solution I found was toast.< The problems I have with PCs are incompatible readers or old software for the readers. Plus, Mac geeks tend to use 16x media and it doesn't always play well with older and cheaper readers that get installed into cheap PCs. I can burn twelve DVD-ROMs on twelve different types of media and give them to three different PC users. There is no pattern to the go/no-go results of attempting to use the data on the disks. Some open some disks, some can't see some disks. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
