Well, looks like your problem is with the CD format itself...

You can't even mount the disc? Which OS Are you using? OS 9? Try it in X if you can...

I think the problem is indeed the CD.I installed DIVX and Mediaplyer 6.3 (thanks,cdhostage!!) but when I put the cd in,I still get a error message in the finder,saying something like "disk 1123456-6511 can't be found"

Must be something with a file name or a burning format?
