nuhi Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 In searching for iso making utility for nlite due to copyright issues, I have chosen mkisofs, contacted the author and he gave me a green light.But, there is many attributes for it and not all are welcomed.Currently there is a long file name issue...it's trimming long file names and sometimes doesn't save the character properly, like ~ sign.Lets say -U trigger solves character bugs but long filenames still gets trimmed (tried -J)...if someone is using this utility without any problem with windows cds please post your command line.Thx.

Jotnar Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 There is also a version of mkisofs Here that supports duplicate file optimization much like CDImage does. No more need for DFL. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilvoice Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 updated since -U undoes most...i think joliet-long is the key. and thats really neat about the "unofficial" mkisofs...got rid of cygwin, allows dfl...though website is a little complicated...I dont see why in win32 it doesnt allow cache-inodes and follow-symlinks but in dos version it does. and the version before this one (moreover the one that allowed dlf) also used cache and follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotnar Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 You could try adding: -J -N -joliet-long -no-iso-translateCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilvoice Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 with -joliet-long you dont need -J and with -U you dont need -N...check what all -U does...as I said, I updated my original reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
