Burning ISO CDs

I wasted some hours with trying to burn ISO CDs on the mac.

I tried various methods like converting .dmg to .cdr (CD Master) in Disk Utility, but the resulting CD always mounted as HFS+.

Finally I googled a nice method:

hdiutil makehybrid -iso -o MyImage.iso /Volumes/SomeFolder/

will create an ISO filesystem, which can be burnt with Disk Utility and shows up like that in the Finder. That is - well, I am pretty sure - readable on PCs.

Alternatively I may use

hdiutil burn MyImage.iso

I believe...

In retrospect, some of my burn products may have ended up as PC-readable too, since hybrid filesystems may have been created. I'll test them on a PC tomorrow for sure.
