TOPIC

    Some third party applications or games ship on a hybrid CD-ROM/Audio CD. When installing these applications, the instructions might suggest turning off all extensions except the CD/DVD Driver. However, without all the necessary file access extensions enabled, the computer might give an error that the disc is unreadable.

DISCUSSION

    To properly read hybrid CD-ROM discs (discs with multiple file formats), a number of additional extensions should be enabled along with Apple CD/DVD Driver. These include:

    • Foreign File Access
    • UDF Volume Access
    • High Sierra File Access*
    • Audio CD Access*
    • ISO 9660 File Access*

    You can enable and disable sets of extensions using the Extensions Manager control panel.

    * Some of these extensions are not visible in the Extensions Manager control panel, so it is likely that they will already be enabled.
