Long file name support on DVD?

I'm not a hardware or software person, but one of our guys who is is having trouble getting a DVD in a V120 running Solaris 9 to consistently recognize long file names on DVDs that were created on PCs running XP with various combinations Sony and Memorex DVD burners and Nero and Roxio RecordNow software. Focus has been on the software and burners, but has anyone encountered the same problem and found something that had to be tweaked on the Sun side? If so please let me know of the fix so I can pass it on.

It's a software issue.

Windows uses the Microsoft Joliet ISO9660 extension to allow somewhat

longer (unicode) filenames than standard ISO9660.

But Solaris doesn't support the Microsoft Joliet extension. Solaris supports

the RockRidge ISO9660 extention for long filenames (and posix support).

Try to find a CD mastering application that allows to write RockRidge

format CD/DVDs.

E.g. the unix "mkisofs" utility allows to create ISO9660 filesystems with both

the RockRidge and Joliet extension, so that you get long filenames on

both unix and windows.
