Non-compliant to Joliet specs and not commonly supported. joliet-long Increases maximum length of file names from 64 to 103 UTF-16 characters in Joliet table. J Enables Joliet extension, which allocates special space to store file names in Unicode (up to 64 UTF-16 characters for each file). This volume label will probably show up as mount point if the medium is mounted automatically. The ISO 9660 standard specs impose the limitations of 32-character string length, as well as limiting the characters allowed to sets of: "A" to "Z", "0" to "9", and "_". for_isoĮach of those options are explained in the following sections.īasic options -V Specifies the name (that is assigned to) of the file system. Then generate the image file with mkisofs: The simplest way to create an ISO image is to first copy the needed files to one directory, for example. Xorrisofs supports the mkisofs options which are shown in this document.Ĭdrskin supports the shown cdrecord options xorrecord also supports those which do not deal with audio CD. The free GUI programs for CD, DVD, and BD burning depend on at least one of the above packages. The traditional choices are cdrecord for CD and growisofs for DVD and Blu-ray Disc,īecause cdrecord was first to offer CD writing without description file and growisofs wasįirst to offer writing to DVD and BD without artificial restrictions by the burn program.įor writing TOC/CUE/BIN files to CD, install cdrdao. xorriso(1) and xorrecord(1) from libisoburn.growisofs(1) from dvd+rw-tools (DVD and BD only).cdrdao(1) from cdrdao (CD only, TOC/CUE/BIN only).The traditional choice is mkisofs, because it is the older one.Īvailable programs for burning to media are: xorriso(1) and xorrisofs(1) from libisoburn.You need at least one program for creation of file system images and one program that is able to burn data onto your desired media type.Īvailable programs for ISO 9660 image creation are: GUI users might get to them when it comes to troubleshooting or to scripting of burn activities. They are the back ends which are used by most free GUI programs for CD, DVD, and BD. The programs listed here are command line oriented.


If you want to use programs with graphical user interface, then follow #Burning CD/DVD/BD with a GUI. Reason: Says twice that X is the traditional choice without stating why.
