Hi Anna,
Most of the information that I have about it came from Rick Glazier on
this mail list. He, in part, said: " Burn a new CD-R. Use the CD
burning program as an authoring or "Mastering Program" and burn in ISO
Level 1, Mode 1, Character Set ISO 9660, WITH Joliet Extensions. Joliet
= (Secondary Volume Descriptor and directories using Unicode.)" His
complete message, no doubt, is in the mailing list achieves. I also
did a search on Google using "Joliet file system CD burning" which gave
a lot of great info on Joliet and the other file systems used for
burning CDs.
I, too, use Roxio to burn disks. To burn the disk using Joliet, I used
Creator Classic. Under the "File" selection in Creator Classic, select
"Project Properties." On the "General" tab you can select either the
Joliet, UDF, or ISO9660 file system.
I hope this helps.
