OK, I am the author of this tip.

And NO there were no special features, tricks, or PLIST hacking done to get this to work. This has nothing to do with 10.2.

You do not need to burn the original burn from DC, you can do it straight from the "Finder".

I think one of the previous post had it correct. It probably has to be a built in CDRW drive. Externals probably have a different process within Mac OS X.

I have tried this on 2 PMG4 QSs with CDRWs, 2 different FP iMacs and an eMac. The OSs ranged from 10.1.3 Server to 10.1.5 Client. All work just the way I discribed earlier. You will notice when burning a CD in the "Finder" at the end it says "Closing Session" not "Closing Disk".

I will try it on my CUBE and Ti at home with my external CDRW (Yamaha 2100E). It could be that this "Feature" is only supported on certain manufactures drives.

I am sorry this hasn't worked for everyone. For those that it has worked for GREAT, for those that it doesn't work for I'm sorry, but I have given all the information I have to give.

Good luck to all....

Its not that we are not having some limited success - but only if we use Disk Copy to burn the initial session and all other session. I don't think many have had any success with starting the burn from the Finder as the initial session. Aslo _ doubt that it is an external/internal issue as the process works flawlessly using Disk Copy on both my internal and external drives. So the problematic area seems to be the Finder (or whatever underpinnings for IOServices that serve disk burning) in most case.
