Attached Link: Joliet Volume Access for MacOS

Hello, there are some wonderful news, because another little bit of cross-platform blues is gone now forever... :-) As you might have painfully discovered in the past, certain CDs for Windows will mount with damaged filenames on Macintosh. It was caused by the fact that Windows uses an old UNIX format for its CDs and stores the private directory data (Joliet) somewhere else - technically it still is ISO 9660 with 8.3 filenames, and that's exactly how Apple's CD drivers recognize them. This affected a lot of Poser CDs, especially the first PoserWorld CD - I wrote some AppleScripts to make them usable on Mac at that time, but it was a very weak compromise (the second PoserWorld CD already comes with a proper Mac directory on its own). Now Thomas Tempelmann (who seems to be in charge of DirectCD for MacOS) wrote an extension which finally treats all Windows CDs with the Joliet system correctly - drop it into your System Folder and every Windows CD will mount like an angel... You can directly use the first PoserWorld CD now without the scripts (you still have to copy and convert the files onto a disk), but you can use the HTML interface and access only the parts you want, without copying the whole CD content. Ha! This also means you have *no* excuse for not buying both of them any longer... :-) The freeware extension is available from the link above. Cheers, MartinC

Thanks for the "heads-up" on this, will come in handy for many things.

Thanks for the info, Martin. Maybe I'll saunter over and take a second look at those PoserWorld CD's.

Cool! Thanks Martin!

Thanks for the heads up! This will fix a lot of problems.!
