Long Filenames Woes...


Recommended Posts

-Hello Lava

I understand that a NTFS/FAT32 machines allow filenames to be 255 characters long.

However, I noticed that some cd/dvd burn software does not seem to let me burn filenames

that are that long.. even though windows XP is okay with it.

Just wondering if there is a magic number out there that is safe with all burn software,

or if there is a work-around?

Thanx

This is a limitation of the ISO-9660 file system for standard CDs. There are propietary file systems that allow you to use more liberal file names BUT they are not universal. Joliet and Rockridge are two key names for extended file naming systems.
