You mention an important issue with genisoimage. Genisoimage does not implement correct UTF-8 support. What's in genisoimage is just a bad hack as only 50% of the places that need UTF-8 support have been addressed and even these parts have bugs. The original mkisofs includes complete and correct UTF-8 support.
Given the fact, that genisoimage does not support files >= 4 GB, only implements limited UDF support, does not support hard links and creates buggy filesystems, I see not reason why somebody would like to use genisoimage instead of the original software. Regarding your original issue: Ubuntu does not have the permission to install something else under the name "mkisofs" and for this reason, my original hint still applies: the mkisofs man page and the mkisofs program can be retrieved here: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ http://cdrecord.berlios.de/ BTW: the real mkisofs is easy to detect: mkisofs -version mkisofs 2.01.01a68 (i386-pc-solaris2.11) Copyright (C) 1993-1997 Eric Youngdale (C) 1997-2009 Jörg Schilling mkisofs -v Setting input-charset to 'ISO8859-1' from locale. 2.01.01a68 (i386-pc-solaris2.11) mkisofs: Missing pathspec.
