[PLUG] burning CD's with long file names

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

When I burn CD's, I see long file names, but my Windows and Mac
friends often don't.  I'm wondering what to incant so that they see
the world well, too.  Any tips?

I've read the manual for cdrecord many times.  I've tried a few
options that make sense to me.  It doesn't generally help off
linux/etc.

I burn CD's thus:

    burn ()
    {
	if [ "X$1" = "X" ]; then
	    burn_path=.;
	else
	    burn_path="$*";
	fi;
	mkisofs -r $burn_path | cdrecord -v -eject speed=2 dev=/dev/cdrom -data -;
	unset burn_path
    }

Thanks.
