I want to burn a data cd on PC so a macs in school can read it. It's a video file. Can CD-RW be used too? My friend tried a regular data cd mac wont read it. :(

you know if you just put your email address in <E> and </E> replacing the <> with [] it would be linked. HTML doesn't work in the forums.

Anyways yeah you should be ablo ISO9660 is a standard file system any computer should be able to read it....IBM Visual Age Generator comes on one CD that has the server side (runs on an AS/400) and the client side (runs on a PC) on the same CD and both machines can read it.

Yep, ISO should work on any DOS, Windows, OS/2, Unix, or Mac machine.

Remember to follow the 8+3 file naming and directory naming conventions.

Sometimes CDRs and a bit more often CDRWs created on one drive aren't readable on another...kind of hit-or-miss

But the Mac should be able to read a ISO9660 CD

ISO is fine only if you want to pass data files (html files and the likes). It won't work with executables and fancy files 'cuz IS09660 has no provision for resource forks (a mac file being in fact 2 files: a data fork and a resource fork).
Just make sure that your video file is in quicktime format.
