burning cds for windows

[klax33]

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to preserve windows long filenames when I transfer files to linux to burn. All of them turn out like longfilename.file -> longfile.000 etc. I'm sure it is something simple I'm overlooking. Thanks in advance.

Hrmm.. Did you try burning with ROCKRIDGE extensions?

I have a CD burner and, although I have gotten the SCSI emulation all set up and everything LOOKS like it works, I haven't actually burned a CD.

I know that the ISO file system doesn't natively support long file names, you have to enable them. That's what rockridge extensions are for.

Perhaps someone else can direct you further.

While that usually works, it is better to use Joliet extensions if the cds are to be used for Windows.

If I misread that and you are going the other way, make sure your kernel supports Joliet extensions for ISO9660.

I tried using Joliet extensions, but had the same result. Here is the command I used:

mkisofs -J -o cdimage.raw *.files

It still makes the files on the disk file.000... file.001... etc. :( Any more ideas? Thanks.

Have you tried XCDRoast. I have copied some MP3's with long file names to CD with that, and it worked fine. I used the defaults which I think was Rockridge and Joliet.

Try using RockRidge extensions. Joilet is probably better for windows, but I think rockridge will work in windows too (assuming it's a half-new version of windows (not 95a))

mkisofs -l -o cd.iso *.files

works for me

thats 32 charector names


good luck
