i need to burn data with my 12" superdrive that will read on my PC. im using toast and tried the hybrid format and 9660. neither is working, they are fine on the mac but my PC just keeps spinning the dvd and "not responds". ive tried it on both my window xp systems and no luck. btw im using ritek dvd-r's. SOMETIMES if im lucky, i can access the data with the PC...any help?

you could look into cdrtools (cdrecord, cdrdao, and mkisofs) or dvdrtools (cdrtools with some dvd enhancements). i warn you though that these are applications that require you to work in your terminal. version tracker or freshmeat.net might give you some ideas to applications that can do what you want.

when i first read this, i was like "you have a superdrive that uses 12" discs? oh, wait, nevermind..." " 
i'd say it's a media problem. i've burned some data (using Toast, Mac OS extended and PC [hybrid]) on cheap media (kHypermedia) that worked fine on my A03, but sometimes worked on my work's XP machine with an A04, and sometimes worked on my sister's iBook 700 combo drive. the same data burned to a genuine pioneer DVD-R works fine in all machines.

no, the one i was using was actually a pioneer branded disc, don't remember the number (i think it may have come free with my drive). don't know who actually makes the apple discs, so maybe they are the same. the discs that i have never had any trouble with are the pioneers, panasonics, and apples; those are the only one's i've ever really tried (besides the kHypermedias).
soogarrush, glad to hear that it's just cheap media that was causing your problems.
