I write four or five complete (large) .AVI files to the root directory
on an ISO DVD data disk, burnt using Mac OS X Finder. My el cheapo DVD
player happily plays the files and lists the disk contents.

Windows/XP and Vista (at my neighbours) won't touch the disks with a 10-foot
pole. I have tried and tried to create disks for their Windows box, using the
Finder and Toast as well, but no luck. Macs and DVD players read the data disks
just fine.

Another nail in the coffin for Windows crap.
