Is it possible, for someone on a Windoze box.. to burn a DVD data
disc, that is not viewable/loadable on a Macintosh with a DVD reader ?
...
Sure. I can burn a disk on a Windows box that isn't viewable from
another Windows box. If I create a proprietary format and don't give
you a reeader, you're sunk.
The disks themselves are interchangable and there's nothing in the
format to keep any other machine out.
Note that even if you use proprietary encodings such as WMP, a Mac
running a Windows emulator can still view them.
What's more to the point: why do you care?
