ISO 9660 Format
This is the most common internationalstandard for the logical format of files andfolders on a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. InLevel 1, file names must be in the 8.3format (no more than eight characters inthe name, no more than three charactersin the extension .MP3 and . WMA) and incapital letters.
Folder names can be no longer than eightcharacters. There can be no more thaneight folder levels (trees). Level 2specifications allow file names up to 31characters long.
Each folder can have up to eight trees.
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansionformat, consider these restrictions whenconfiguring your CD writing software.
