[DM-MUG] burning cds

[Bryan Baker]

Yeah, thanks for chiming in on that Bailey. I was wondering what all 
the hubub was, since the only time I use Disk Utility to burn CDs is if 
I'm making a CD from an image (usually a downloaded ISO).

The default format that the finder (just stick a CD in and it asks what 
you want to do w/ it) uses to burn CDs is a nice Hybrid Mac/PC format, 
so either target audience can read it fine (as long as they have a 
compatible program to read whatever data files you put on it).

This has been the case since at least 10.2 iirc.

I used to use Toast back in the OS8/9 days, but have never felt the 
need to upgrade it after moving on to OSX.
