Another Computer Question

[unico_love]

How do I make sure a cd-r of images can be read by both pc and mac computers? Are jpegs readable by both? I have a pc. Thank you, anyone who answers!

It may actually be referring to the type of disc they burn, rather than the files.

Atleast on the macs at my school, there was an option to burn a Mac and PC compatible disk or Mac only compatible, and it's something you have to be careful of if you're on a Mac but need to use the CD in a PC, as well.

That could be true, but I have actually NEVER found any disc compatibility problems. I've found FLOPPY compatibility problems (however, that's from very old versions of Macintosh- my iMac G5 doesn't even have a floppy slot), and I found problems with burning a DVD+R as a DVD file (you can put files on it, but can't make a DVD you can play on a DVD player). However, my version of Macintosh is a previous operating system, and this problem with burning DVD player compatible DVD+Rs was fixed in later versions.

I just found the entire question rather odd, sorry if I sounded rude. I have a problem realising not everyone knows these things about computers. It seems a little inconceivable to me anyone could not know a simple .jpg file would work on both a Mac and a PC- I don't mean that in a mean way at all, because it is definitely plausible. Not very many people are educated on Macs. I imagine that's how real knowledgeable computer people (you know, the major geeks. I have a lot of knowledge and could be considered a geek by certain terms, but I don't know much of scripting and programming- not enough patience) feel about me, though... (:

and I apologize to unico_love if I sounded demeaning, it was not intentional. ^^

Are cd-R's both compatible? Because that's what I'm supposed to use...
