File Name Compatibility

There is a limit on the length of file names, the characters you can use in them, and the number of levels in a directory when creating a Data CD. B's Recorder GOLD5 allows you to select the OS under which the data will be used to make it compatible.


ISO Format Compatible
The data will be recorded to be ISO9660 Level 1 compatible, which can be read on most platforms. However, the following limitations apply;

1. The hierarchy of the folder (directory) to be recorded onto the disc is up to 8 levels.
If there is more than 8, a prompt will appear. Reduce the directory so that it is less than 8 levels.


2. The number of characters you can use in the file or folder (directory) name is 8.
You can use 3 extension characters in the case of file names. A prompt appears if you try to enter a longer name.

3.
The characters you can use in the file or folder (directory) name are the letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9) and the underline dash (_).
A prompt appears if you try to enter any other characters.


MS-DOS, Windows3.1
Only the number of characters you can use in the file or folder (directory) name (8 characters+3 extension characters) is checked. The same as 2 in ISO Format Compatible above. A prompt appears if you try to enter over the set number of characters.


Win95/98/Me (Romeo Compatible)
Verification that the number of characters you used in the file or folder (directory) name is within 128. A prompt appears if you try to enter more than 128 characters.


MS-DOS, Win3.1/95/98/Me/2000/XP (Joliet Compatible)
You can use up to 64 characters, including spaces, in the long file name. You can also include a space in the file name. The MS-DOS 8 characters+3 extension characters can be entered, so it can be read by Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, Me, XP, MS-DOS and Windows 3.1.
