[DigiCam] Reading photo CD

[Eric Stauffer]

Mel,

8 cm CD from Sony are not readable on Macintosh. It is a shame and it 
is a known fact by both Sony and Apple. Unfortunately, nobody seems 
to care much about that. The only way to get the pictures would be to 
have the camera and connect it USB to the Mac, it is slow as heck, 
but it is the only way.

Hope this helps,

Eric
