Is there any CD/DVD burning app/ISO format which supports files and directories with long non-English (unicode) names? Apparently Joliet-long ISO standard supports filename up to 103 characters, but I'm not sure if it supports unicode as well, and if Brasero or any other Gnome app can burn DVDs with this format. I found out that an app called gBurner does quite a decent job, but unluckily it's a Win app.



I have to burn the contents of my external HDD, but since my data contains many downloaded pages (with companion HTML pages' directories containing pictures, JS scripts, CSS styles, and so on) and since many of those filenames contain non-English characters, I need some app/format to be capable of burining them safely on a DVD (without the old-fashioned need to compress the contents under a English filename), such that the content is readable on Linux and Win machines.

GUI Application


k3b is able to create ISO Level 3 filesystem CD's with Joliet-long. To install type in Terminal:


apt-get install k3b

Unfortunately k3b is an KDE application so this will install lots of (unwanted) dependencies on your machine. So you might rather use the command line alternative.


Command Line


mkisofs can create .iso files with Joliet-long which can be burned with every other application (e.g. Brasero)


mkisofs -iso-level 3 -J -joliet-long -rock -input-charset utf-8 -o project.iso /path/to/files

In Brasero press Burn image select the project.iso and hit burn.
