I want to burn a cd.. its image files. A mixture of psd and bitmaps and Jpegs.
I am running xp pro and have alchohol 120 and Nero 5.5. Think I have Iso buster around somewhere as well.. I want to be able to read this disc on an Mac platform.. and by tomorrow lol... Is there a way that this can be done as I seem to be having probs...
Thanks

It should be possible to just write the picture files to the cd in the normal way because there is a cd standard that isn't operating system specific. (ie data cds are written the same way on windows, unix, linux and i assume mac. So at the very least the bitmaps and jpegs should be transferrable in this way. I don't know what a psd file is though.
From your post it sounds like it isn't working though, does the mac not recongnise the cd at all? Did you finalise the cd?

HI... thanks,The psd is photoshop file.. with all the layers.. I would be happy with just the bits and jpegs. I have not got as far as trying it in the mac. In Nereo I get the options only to burn Data; it says 'readable in most windows operating systems' i the drop down menu.. I was a bit wary of that.. Burning it as vcd I could not get it to play back on my comp let alone a mac lol... The other options in Nero I am not sure about... I would of thought that I could have formatted the disc and just dragged and dropped to the re write drive... the other Nero options are for mp3 or copy.... just a bit confused as to what kind of disc I want to tell nero that I want to create is all

If you burn the CD in ISO 9660 format the Mac should be able to read it. Make sure you don't burn it in Joliet, which is a Microsoft format and only works and Windows PC's. You also might want to disable "long file names" in Nero because the Mac might not support that.
