I don't think that's it, but am not sure. Multi-session discs stink, but for reasons that shouldn't have anything any bearing at the OS level.

I believe that photo discs aren't ISO-9660, but a variant -- or deviant! -- thereof. -- "Trying to do something with your life is like sitting down to eat a moose." --Douglas Wood
