CD Burning support in Panther
I haven't seen any of these issues that you've mentioned but here's a good workaround:

Oh, one more thing. If you do a lot of burns just save the dmg file for later burns. If you need to change the stuff on it then double-click it to mount it and add/trash items. Don't forget to empty the trash before you burn. Once you are done just do steps 8 - 10 to burn another disk.

3. choose Size->660 MB (CD ROM 12 cm)
Good tip, I'll do it this way from now on. But I'm curious about the CD size. Originally CDs were 650MB but now I see other sizes regularly, for example I got a 50 pack of 700MB CDs, and in your above example you use 660MB. I've never really understood what they were doing to get the extra space, or what would happen if you tried to access a "larger" CD on an older CDROM. Any idea? BTW, I'm really "retentive" about using up all the space on a CD-R. I usually fill it until there are only a few hundred Kbytes left, even if it means putting on stuff I don't really need on the CD but wouldn't mind having an extra "backup" copy of. I'm beginning to wonder if this, in combination with different CD sizes, might be my problem in having my burn mysteriously fail.

You can set up disk images of any size that you want, I was just using the largest CD-ROM size that is built-in to Disk Utility. I did this to make things easy and also because it was pretty safe. You could just as easily use the Custom option and enter in 700 MB. The only thing is that you might end up with an image which is larger than the disk you are going to burn to. |
