Making a Custom Hybrid Disc
This type of disc can be used either on a Macintosh or a Windows
computer, and offers powerful layout customization options for
professionals such that:

Certain Macintosh data will be visible only to Macintosh users.

Certain Windows data will be visible only to Windows users.

Users of both Macintosh and Windows can share some data.

including window sizes, positions, and View menu settings. Be sure to
prepare the volume carefully.
