[MacDV] jpeg and psd files from pc to mac

[Djwp]

Normally, I have no problem moving jpegs between my pc and my mac (G5). 
  Often, I network the two of them together and swap files.  You say you 
burned the files on the PC and tried to open them on the G5?   I'm 
assuming this means you created a data CD.  Are you trying to open the 
files directly from the CD or did you copy them from the superdrive to 
your hard-drive first?  Normally, I copy to my hard-drive and open the 
files from there.  Also, be sure that the extension (.jpg) followed the 
files over to your G5.  I have noted that in swapping files from OSX to 
Windows, often the extension does not follow and, hence, Windows cannot 
recognize the file.  I simply add the extension to the file name and 
this solves the problem.  Although, I've never seen this occur the 
other way around (from the PC to my G5), it wouldn't hurt to check.  
Otherwise, I imagine the Mac will not know what application to open the 
files with (the same problem as I encounter going from Mac to PC).

Just a few simple things to check.  Hope it helps.
