if you have a session burned to a data DVD - on a mac - and simply make a straight data DVD copy of it on a PC, is there any reason that the data would change? ie., would the new DVD become unreadable in Pro Tools? and please note, the data DVD copy made on the PC was just a straight burn. no open session. thanks.

right . . . but thing is that however the sessions were originally saved to the multiple data DVD's, it was never opened up on my PC. i was just taking the DVD's and - without opening them in protools or any other application - using a DVD burning program to make identical clone copies as backup.
it is the backup disks (all the files copied exactly the same size as expected) that wouldn't open in protools in either mac or PC. my question is is there any reason that making exact clones of data DVD protool sessions created on a mac and cloned on a PC would morph into unusable versions of the original sessions, even though they looked identical and were the same size?
is there some odd rule of data DVD burning that prevents cross-platform copies from being made? perhaps some weird proprietary viral issue?

If the original Pro Tools session did not have Mac/PC compatibility enforced, then it could be unusable on a PC.
