Burning CDs for users without iPhoto

When burning a CD from within iPhoto, you'll notice that, while the resulting CD works great for iPhoto users, it can be a confusing mess for people using OS 9 or an alternate operating system.
To burn photos to a CD that will not be used with iPhoto:
- Insert a blank CD-R and make sure it mounts in the Finder.
- Use iPhoto's file export feature to export photos to the still-unburnt CD-R. As a bonus, you can use the photo's title as their filenames.
- Burn the CD from the Finder; do not use the burn button in iPhoto.
Ta-da! I use this method to create CDs for use with my DVD player (which does not look into subfolders for images). I also use this method to send photos to relatives still using OS 9.
