To facilitate cross platform compatibility, it defined a minimal set of common file attributes (directory or ordinary file and time of recording) and name attributes (name, extension, and version), and used a separate system use area where future optional extensions for each file may be specified. High Sierra arranged file information in a dense, sequential layout to minimize nonsequential access by using a hierarchical (eight levels of directories deep) tree file system arrangement, similar to UNIX and FAT. ISO 9660 traces its roots to the High Sierra Format file system.

It aims at supporting different computer operating systems such as Windows, classic Mac OS, and Unix-like systems, so that data may be exchanged. ISO 9660, also referred to as CDFS ( Compact Disc File System) by some hardware and software providers, is a file system standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for optical disc media.

I've been burning my discs as UDF+ISO v1+Joliet for the past yr or so but would like longer file names.This article needs additional citations for verification. Has anyone else noticed this? What format should I be burning my discs in? I'm talking both DVD's and CD's as I have a DVD burner. I was wanting to start using ISO v2 because it supports longer filenames than the old standard.Īlso, in Nero (v6.6.0.13), it appears as if I cannot write a UDF+ISO v2 disc, but only either UDF+ISO v1 or UDF+ISO v1+Joliet. Would I be able to take discs written w/ the ISO v2 standard and play them on other systems such as mp3 players, Macs and Linux boxes? I'm using Win XP right now and would eventually like to move to Linux or BSD but I need to know if my backup discs will still be able to be read in those other systems. Joliet supports up to 64 chars in filenames and ISO 9660:1999 aka ISO v2 supports 207 chars in file names. I read that it allows for longer filenames than Joliet does. Hey all, I was messing w/ Nero today and noticed there was an option to use ISO 9660:1999 besides the ISO 9660+Joliet that I've been using for some time.
