It might be more accurate to say I look for more reasons to like Linux/OSS than to find more reasons to dislike another OS.
Anyway, the limitation for rockridge is also 255 characters (207 for ISO 9660:1999). In either case, the original poster should check the total length of his files (ie. count all the characters in the filename and path). He should also check to see if there are more than 8 levels of nesting, which is a limitation of ISO 9660 (but not in either the more recent ISO 9660:1999 nor Rockridge). Its been a while since I have used Windows for burning, but I thought that Nero and Roxio both supported these extensions out of the box?
