I tried SEARCHing for any threads about this but wasn't successful.. Pardon me if I overlooked anything, I'm new.. I was following this procedure to burn my first multisession cd (I've only burned cd's in my iBook using iTunes before) but I didn't know what IMAGE FORMAT to use when saving an image (I meant to burn a data cd). Can someone plz explain the differences of the ff: 1. read-only 2. compressed ------------------- 3. read/write 4. DVD/CD Master Thanx!
Any of them should work if you'll just be using it from within Disk Utility for burning to a multi-session CD. Just confirming, are you using OS X 10.3? I'm asking because the instructions you posted are for 10.3 to 10.3.9. You might also want to try BurnX Free, it's a free app that lets you burn multi-session CDs that are cross-platform.
I was about to reccomend the same software since the discs you burn in Disk Utility/Finder/data iTunes are not readable by Windows natively. Not to mention that multi-session burning the Apple way is uncharacteristically Apple, being convoluted and confusing.
two questions come to mind: 1. is toast capable of burnX's features? 2. burnX is capable of burning multi-session and deleting CD's and DVD's (according to version tracker)- does this apply to rewritable media or even the regular type?
@ PatrickGaerlan I'm using 10.4, I just assumed it follows the same procedure as I saw the same buttons. =( I wanted to burn a backup of the .dmg's I downloaded, just in case something terrible happens, so I guess I'll be using the same platform.. I downloaded BurnX Free thou. Thanx!
