Download large files directly to CD-R volumes
Let's get a few things straight.
Sure, it's confusing but I have to give Apple credit for having thought this whole process through and to make it very simple and easy. Linux is nowhere near easy when working with CD-R/RW using cdrecord, etc. WinXP added this sort of functionality and obviously copied Apple's way of doing it. However, WinXP won't tell you when you have exceeded the size of the CD capacity. It will tell you only once it's started burning already. Not sure about OS X, but I am not willing to test it out just yet. My only gripe is they don't support multi-session recording on a CD-RW. I have to copy the CD-RW files to the hard disk, erase the CD-RW, and then re-burn it from scratch. Sure you can do a multi-session but you end up with each session getting it's own mount point which is weird.
Finder burning process not very smart
Because you need twice the space on your drive. OK, for those of you with large drives that's not a problem, but it is also a lot slower than just burning files directly using specialized software like Toast. |
