File Format Options

The following file format options are available:

• MAC Volume. This setting creates a mountable Macintosh volume on the target CD. These volumes are limited to the space available on the CD media

• MS-DOS. This setting defines that the files and folders you have selected in the Data pane will be written in the 8.3 MS-DOS file format..

• Joliet(MS-DOS/Windows). The Joliet file system was proposed and implemented by Microsoft. Joliet is based on the ISO9660 (1988) standard.
  
  If a CD is created using the Joliet file system, it may only be read back under Windows 95/Windows NT 4.0 or later, and may not be read back on other platforms. Under the Joliet file system, the number of characters allowed in long file name is up to 64 and the allowed number in a long directory is up to 64 characters. However, the total number of characters for a file name plus its full path cannot exceed 120.

• HFS. This setting uses the Macintosh Type and Creator information (associated with Macintosh files), and writes this information into a special area of the CD. The result is that the Macintosh can recognize Macintosh files in the usual manner (so that you can double-click on a file to launch its related application)

• HFS+. This setting creates CDs compatible with the Macintosh HFS+ file system. The result is that the Macintosh can recognize Macintosh files in the usual manner (so that you can double-click on a file to launch its related application)

• Hybrid (HFS/MS-DOS). This format contains the MS-DOS file information, as well as files in the Macintosh HFS file format. In this case, all of the files that you specify in the Layout window are written twice onto the CD that you create: once in the MS-DOS file format and once in the Macintosh HFS file format.

• Hybrid (HFS+/Joliet). This format contains the Joliet file information, as well as files in the Macintosh HFS+ file format. In this case, all of the files that you specify in the Layout window are written twice onto the CD that you create: once in the Joliet file format and once in the Macintosh HFS+ file format.
