As others have told you now, all you need do is create the files, one for 

Mac, one for Wintel, then use a *quality* CD authoring tool to create a 

hybrid CD. The Mac will automatically mount and read read the Mac side 

(and the Windows side at the owner's discretion), while the Wintel will 

only see the Wintel side (and the Mac side with special software).


You can even set each CD to 'auto launch'  and then 'auto launch' the 

movie file itself, but I caution you in this area, it can lead to 

undesired frustrations on the part of the user.


Last I checked, you could author in this manner on Wintel, but with often 

unpredictable results. If anything can do it properly now, it would be 

Adaptec's high-end software for Wintel.


For guaranteed results, and astonishingly easy creation,  best to author 

on the Mac with Adaptec Toast v3.5.7 or greater.


If your CD-R is either SCSI or ATA, you can easily install/share it on 

any Mac, and the basic version of Toast is free to distribute with any 

CD-R  (you may have actually received already it with a bundled software 

CD).
