    Default Making Classic, OS X, and Windows projector CD?

    Hi! I'm working on a project running MPEGs through a menu-driven Projector
    movie. I've got the Advance MPEG extra. I've created my movies for all three
    platforms. Now I have this question:

    Can I make a CD (autorun) for all three? I've made plenty of CD's that
    autorun on either Windows or Mac (Classic Mode). But now that I'm test driving
    Director MX 2004, and have the option of an OS X compliant projector too, I'm
    confused. Do I have to pick and choose which Mac format I support on a hybrid
    CD based on my clients' needs, or can I put both Mac versions on the CD?

    Thanks in advance for any help. This is my first venture into this forum.

    I understand that autostart is not supported in osX for 'security
    reasons', but if there's an os9 autostart on the CD it will autostart in
    classic mode in an osX system, some osX systems may not have classic
    mode, then one can manually start an osX projector.

    I also found that the os9 projetors are not compatible with older
    systems, including 8.6 ( missing carBon lib error), while an director
    8.5 projector does work with these.

    You can put both Mac versions on one cd, but you won't be able to autorun
    the projector for OSX.
