Here's the lowdown on LFN's in Nero...We have an option in Nero to "Relax the ISO 9660 restrictions" , but this is only referring to the "Full Path" of the files location . For example: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero Burning - Rom\Nero.exe which as a file is only 7 characters long, but for the full path it used 50 characters. The Joliet File system allows filenames with up to 64 Unicode characters only. The ISO Level 1 file system allows filenames in 8+3 format and the Level 2 with up to 31 ISO characters. Currently there is no way to store filenames with more than 64 characters on an ISO or Joliet CD. Longer filenames are possible with UDF file system (but such long filenames are not supported by the Nero UDF implementation , but it might work for InCD) and with the so called "Rockridge Extensions" for the ISO file system. These Rockridge Extensions are popular in the Unix world, but are not supported by Windows and Nero. Conclusion: Nero cannot write longer filenames than 64 characters . The only solution, that I see would be to use either a Linux PC, use the GNU freeware program "mkisofs", create a CD image with it and burn this image with Nero using the "File"->"Burn Image" menu command and the default options and to burn on an empty CD. But the long Rockridge filenames will be readable only on Unix/Linux systems and NOT on Windows PCs. Another possibility would be to use some kind of packet writing software like InCD to create the CD. But such a CD can be read only, if the InCD driver is installed. When Nero 6 comes out in late summer, it will support the ability to create files with file names larger than 64 characters "
