In my experience, doing what Tony did will result in a CD that can only be read by other Macs. Matthew_k's steps there should result in a CD-ROM that can be read by any machine.


I think this is one of those cases where it is too intuitive for people with Windows experience. Windows CD burning has always involved a program of some sorts, so Disk Utility seems the way to go. But the implementation Apple went with (and Microsoft in XP) was to just make it so that you put in a blank CD and drag files to it. This does produce a normal ISO CD under OS X every time I have used it with no issues. Thankfully now that CDs are cheep, the packet writing idea of being able to add files later in a not so standard way seems to have died off.
