Just got Director 11 for a hybrid cd and all works fine until I try to run from
cd. Authoring on XP and burning standard hybrid disc on Mac 10.4. with older
version of Toast (5). Director publishes the 2 projectors fine and no problems
with pc version. The mac projector plays fine from hard drive or usb drive but
not from cd. Is this just a hybrid cd issue or something deeper?

Hi rf222,

This is an issue I've come across as well and has been reported to Adobe:
If a Mac projector is launched from a non-HFS volume (e.g. ISO-9660, UFS), it
cannot find its resources and throws an error message (needs shockwave). If you
copy files from a non-supported partition back to an HFS volume, the projector runs
fine with the copied files.

So Macintosh D11 Projectors Will Not Run From Non-HFS Volumes

Was dicovered when also trying to create a hybrid CD. The workaround was to creat a
Toast binary image file.
