#Mac qustions
I have read a number of articles associated with the MCD device, sounds really
nice.
Also keep in mind the new CD standard will hold 2+gigs per disk. Really Nice!
Unfortunately even though the new MACs will read the ISO9660 format as long as
the Mac file system divides all of its files into data and resource forks, the
only way to produce true crossplatform disks is to divide the disks in two and
put duplicate file systems. Resulting in only a couple of hundred megs worth of
storage on each disk. We're really looking forward to the newer higher density
media. Since we started writing multi-platform disks we've pulled in a
phenomenal amount of work from really strange places.
Writable CD players make really nice storage devices with low cost media, but
the lower priced units also create ALOT of flaws when writing to disks.
Premastering is an artform unto itself. To reach our current level of
proficiency has taken me over 18 months of non-stop training and studying.
After a year and a half, I've just recently reached the point where we can turn
around a true multiplatform master without any flaws or file problems. It's
been alot of fun but I never would've dreamed it was so complicated.
