Burning DVD on mac to be read by PC

I need to transfer 7G of audio from a mac to a PC which would otherwise take up 15 or so CD's because of long files which don't split easily.

Is it possible to burn DVDs on a mac which can then be read by a PC. Will the PC need additional software to read a mac DVD. My mac is compatible with DVD-R. Do PC's generally need DVD+R or is there flexibility?

Many thanks :w:

001/Mac G4 -- Hard Drive Recommendations?

Hey! Its time to expand beyond the factory ATA hard drive that came with my G4. I'm not experienced with purchasing cpu hardware, so some recommendations and clarification would be greatly appreciated.

If I buy a SCSI drive, do I need to get additional connecting hardware or is my G4 ready to have it plunked down and plugged in?

Which Mac for Pro Tools?

I am planning on buying a Mac laptop to run Pro Tools on. I know that I need an extra drive which I will add via firewire. Which Mac will work the best? I am thinking I should get it with a recordable DVD and CD drive. I will interface the computer via an MBox. I have always used PC but I think it might be wise to switch over to the Mac system to run Pro Tools.

Mac to PC

Here's the deal. I have a client who wishes to transfer 24 tracks of analog to either Pro Tools or Cubase for a PC. The only things I have in the studio are Macs running Vision and Logic. Both these save as SDII or AIFF files. Will either of these open in a PC environment?
Will Pro Tools for PC import SDII files from a Mac?
Will Cubase even know what it's looking at?
