I did use DirectCD, and both CDs were closed. I know that only
another PC with DirectCD can read open CDs (eg if they're in
drag-and-drop mode)

This is the option I always select when closing (as Floret Morgenstern
had suggested)

"7. Select 'Organize the disc so that it can be read in most standard
CD-ROM drives. . .'  and click Finish.

Note: To make the disc readable on a standard CD-ROM drive, the
disc is closed as an ISO 9660** format. This format information
requires 22 MB of space on the disc for the first session, and 13 MB
for each additional session. Only CD-R discs can be closed as an
ISO 9660 format. CD-RW discs do not support the ISO format

** ISO 9660

An international standard that specifies how data is arranged (its
logical format) on a CD-ROM. This includes standards for the format
of file names and directory names. CDs written in the ISO 9660 format
can be read by computers running under various operating systems
such as DOS, Macintosh, OS/2, Windows, and UNIX"
