burning disc with long file name

[bikeboy]

I need to burn a disk with a long file name that needs to be maintained. I can give the ISO image the correct name, but when I burn it (DVD-ROM ISO) with nero, it won't accept the last character. The name is something like "ABC version 15.00", and nero will only take "ABC version 15.0".

The disk is some 980MB, so needs to go on DVD, but I'm wondering which format will take the 17-character name??

In Nero, Under the ISO tab of New Compilation window, select the boxes "ISO level 2" and "Allow more than 255 characters in path"
this should work, otherwise try another burning software like
DVDVideoSoft Free Studio, its free and does everything

cool. I haven't seen that option, but I'll have a look for it. Failing that I'll grab DVDVideo.

thanks for that.

No joy with either I'm afraid

I might have to wait until I return to work and try it on the Mac.

Thanks anyway.

Just a long shot when ever I have had that problem with length
I would just move the IMG/file to root drive
so when Nero looks at it will see
" C:\ABC version 15.00 "

but when she is on the desktop she will see
" C:\Users\Lap Top\Desktop\ABC version 15.00 "

Just a thought

I can give the image file the correct name, but when I label the DVD (in Nero/DVDVideosoft, it drops the last zero, and I can't add it back?

I think this is a different issue to what you describe?

don't you need to use UDF (Joliet maybe??, long time since I've done this) format for non compliant filenames?

You could be on to something there. The option was ISO 9690 + joliet, but that didn't work, so I tried ISO:1999 which seems to have taken the full name. I'll try a burn and cross my fingers.

yeah, I can get an image file with the correct name no probs, but when burning the image, the last zero always disappears

are you talking about this
as my iso file name is huge

the nero disc name is limited

yep, that's it. If you were to put a space after "version, the last zero will drop off. It seems that 16 characters is the limit. The weird thing the disc I'm copying has the 17 characters, so it must be possible, just not with the software I've tried to date

why bother?
abc ver 15.00
its only the disc name

[bikeboy]

because once the software is installed, it needs to find a disk with the right name. I have no idea why, it just does, or it won't run.

what ver nero are you using

[bikeboy]

7.7 something?

[mickc]

tried ver 9
it allows more than 16 chr but puts underscore in place of blanks/spaces

Yeah, just tried v11 with the same result. I think I'm snookered, but thanks for the responses guys.

My only hope now is that my Mac can make sense of this when I get back to work.

what about
make a image of the disk with say alcohol 120
then mount it, you wont need to burn it.
