Sorry, I had to edit that a bit, so it was suitable for our little forum. I hope this information is still useful to some.

How do you burn 'em on a Mac? I've tried dozens of times on OSX but could never figure it out.

Ubuntu Linux users may want to know that it is possible to burn em inside there as well. You just need to use cdi2nrg (CDI to Nero image) win32 application inside of WINE to convert to a Nero compatible image. From there you can use the new Nero for Linux (v3.0 I believe) to burn. I have done it with hundreds of images and it works great.

I've burned them on OS X using Toast Titanium. It handles Nero or iso images with no problems. The only hangup is that a lot of images are .cdi/disk juggler images so you have to use Windows to run Cdi2Nero to convert them first. With Intel Macs and VMWare or Bootcamp running a quick Windows app is no problem but if you're still PPC it's a good idea to have an old PC for these pesky apps.

There's an OSX program called LiquidCD that can handle most .cdi's now. It can't overburn, though.

edit: I found a program called iCDIRip that claims to convert .cdi's to Toast images. However it's several years old and I don't have a chance at the moment to try it, so be wary.
