I'm using 7.6.0.1081 and having a problem with some file snot being copied into an iso image.  The file lengths have a long directory structure and long names.  I've checked the boxes to allow tp to 211 chars and that helped, but I still have some way to go.

Files that are 'too' long simpy do not make it onto the ISO.

Now I hate to say this, but I can produce an ISO with Nero (it may not be strictly readable on every CD), but I'd prefer to stick to ultraiso as I have a number of batch files already setup.

Can anyone think of what I might be doing wrong??

Firstly, long path is not a problem, becase ISO volume stores every folder name seperatly.

To fully support windows filenames, it is recommanded to use 'UDF' volume other than 'Joliet'.

Thanks for that but it doesn't seem to help.  I have played around a bit and found that it seems to be the length of the source filename.  So in my case I have a unc type path which is pretty large, but the files I want are there.  If I drag that lot into ultraiso, not all the files are added.  (No warnings that I could see).

But good news, if I map a drive letter to some point further down the unc path, all is well.
