After some advice re using nero to archive flac files. Having problems with long file names. Using standard ISO level 1, ISO 9660 character set & with Joliet ticked. (the default option)

File names greater than 64 characters won't archive properly, get an error message saying files need to be renamed to fit into joliet naming system & if you go ahead & burn, the file name is shortened & the back up is as a "compressed audio file".

There are two options on the ISO tab, relax ISO restrictions, which warns disc might not be readable by all computers & relax Joliet to more than 64 characters. This gives no warning but does anyone know if this affects readability?

I have been manually shortening the names before archiving (& making sure I note on my records that I've done this), but this means can't reseed or trade these shows in FLAC format as they are no longer the original.

What do other people do to archive these files?
