Creating cd-r for Mac and PC (Hybrid?)
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2003 11:46 am
Hello all,
I was wondering if anybody could help me or point me in the right direction in what I'm trying to do. "What ARE you trying to do?" you ask. Well I've created a Flash presentation that I would like to distribute on cd to both Mac and PC users. The presentation is generated as an .exe for PC and .hqx for MacOS. I'm using a WinXP machine and I have Nero. My question is threefold:
1. Create an autorun.inf to autoplay the presentation, which will do that for the PC, I'm not familiar with Macs so will they autoplay the.hqx file? or is there an equivalent to the autorun.inf file that I need to create?
2. Burn them both to cd-rs that'll be readable on PC and Mac, Nero has the Hybrid option but you need an Apple partition for the Apple portion of the CD which I don't have, so will a UDF cd work? (I'm shooting in the dark here)
3. Finally this is optional, can this cd also be a hybrid mixed-mode cd, with audio tracks on the remaining space?, and if so what considerations/compatibility issues should I take into account.
if anyone has any suggestions or needs more info I await your response
p.s. I've run searches on this board and on google as well as cdfreaks.com with no satisfactory results.
