I tried to submit a support ticket on this, but the whoel process is so bizarre (at least in Safari) that I doubt my ticket went through, so I am posting it here, in hopes someone can help.
I appologize if this made it through to support.

Hi there.
I am having an issue buring a Hybrid CD with a Director projector on a G5 Mac running 10.4.8 and toast 7.1.
When I burn the CD, it will work on the Mac that burned it, but not any other Mac.
I know the problem, I just don't know what to do about it.

Here is a screenshot of the problem.

As you can see, when I open the CD on the Mac that burned it (this Mac doesn't have Director, I authored on a PC, and am just burning it on a Mac in Toast 7.1) you can see that the folder "Impressario.bundle" looks like a folder, and it plays fine on that machine, even off the burned CD.

However, in the second screenshot, you'll see that THAT Mac is reading the "Impressario.bundle" folder as a file (specifically, it thinks it is an iDVD2 project.

This is causing a problem as the Director Projector is looking for some Xtras that are in that folder, but it is not reading it as a folder once it is burned. I have been through tech support with Macromedia and the Xtra guys, and they suggest at this point it is a Burning issue.

Any ideas?

"Bundle" is a hidden flag in the HFS+ volume format; FileBuddy, a third-party application, would probably be able to toggle it.

The Mac OS reads .bundle as a single item.  Macromedia shouldn't be using an extension like that for a folder as it will be seen by the OS as a file.  Not much you can do about it.  This is a Macromedia issue.

Ahh, that makes sense.  So burn a mac only disc and the problem will just go away, or you can copy the data to the hard drive from the CD you already have and then use filebuddy as I suggested above.
