    I burned a DVD on a Mac and brought it home to work on it on my PC. The problem: XP doesn't even recognize the disk. Nero sees it but only as a Mac formatted disk, no files. I really need those files. Anybody know how I can get them off the disk?

    That's what I don't know. I used Disk Copy in the Utilities folder. Its the only burning program (that I know of) on those computers. This is so much easier on a PC.

    I would think that Disc Copy would have worked... like you need to get toast if you want to burn cross platform with any reliability.

    I didn't even think Macs still burned HFS. You need to burn it as ISO or UDF so the PC can read it. Or you need to get an HFS reader for your PC so you can view Mac formatted stuff.

    The problem is that these computers are at school. I can't install anything on them without a password. That HFS reader sounds like my only choice. You know of any good ones?

    EDIT: Can disc copy burn in udf? It didn't mention anywhere what the file format was.

    I know this is anchient....... but just fyi

    1. disk copy doesnt do UDF as default [as its used by the finder for burning and finder burns are data by default]

    2. you can do UDF but it requires one small step using dvdimager. Just make a .img of your VIDEO_TS folder. This makes a UDF format image which you can burn with disk copy as UDF

    hope this makes since!

    Holy crap, I'd forgotten about this. Thanks for the info. I bought an external hard drive so that solved the problem. Also an instructor has toast installed on his G4 so I just used that.
