Default Re: PT not recognizing files transferred from PC

Hi Walter,

This same thing happened to me. I noticed that when you make an ISO9660 CD on a PC, the mac will only recognize the first 8 letters of each file name. This is also the case in reverse (making a CD on mac adn then to PC). But when you put the CD back into the computer where it originally came from you can see all the characters in each file name...

Anyway, the reason why PT asked me to find each file is when I copied the session off the CD into the mac all of the files had a the first couple letters and then a "~1" (I.E. Overhe~1.AIF, instead of Overheads.AIF). So I had to do a search for each song by unique ID number instead of name and it found them all.

I don't knwo if that's what happened to you but that's what happened to me when transferring from a PC to a Mac and back to a PC again.
