Title: dvd burning issue? anybody know the answer?
Post by: Teen Wolf Blitzer on July 28, 2009, 03:19:05 PM

Just burned the first dvd on my new system.  Nero/Vista.  Some of the file names have been cut so they are useless.  What's the deal? 

Example:  actual named file: 

headforthehillsandfriends2009-07-18peacockradiostage-busmanaudioBST54-K4-track02.flac

burned as...

headforthehillsandfriends2009-07-18peacockradiostage-busman.fla

wtf?

Weird.  I installed Roxio which came with my system and reburned.  They came out fine.  Strange as I never had an issue with Nero on my last system....

I don't think its a mere coincidence that its exactly 64 characters long, I would say Nero appears to have a namelen(namelength) type issue where it abbreviates after 64 chars whether by design or by flaw.

Check the default filesystem that Nero uses.  I think is defaults to ISO 9660 for CDs and ISO6990:1999 for DVDs.  I'd bet that is where your filename length limitation comes in....
