Talk:Joliet (file system)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should merge with ISO 9660 — Claunia 22:56, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] (file system) vs. (ISO 9660 Extension)

Joliet (ISO 9660 Extension) redirects to Joliet (file system) - I'm going to swap these around, as (file system) is inaccurate, afaik: Joliet is not a self-contained file system. '(ISO 9660 Extension)' seems a good extension to settle on (see Category:ISO_9660_extensions). I'm just announcing ahead of time incase there are objections. -- Jon Dowland 14:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it is better to merge, but, it is a step.—Claunia 14:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Most disc creation software creates...

I don't think it's accurate to say "Most disc-creation software creates both Joliet and Rock Ridge extensions on the disc". Common Microsoft Windows based disc-creation software just creates standard ISO9660 and Joliet.

Agreed (neither Nero nor EZ CD Creator, both for Windows, nor Toast nor Apple's CD creation API, both for Mac OS, do this). I'll change that. -- Tempel 07:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What happened to the Romeo filesystem?

Does anyone knows what happened to the Romeo Filesystem? At the time of Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95/98, Romeo was he filesystem of choice to record files with names of 128 characters. However, I have noticed that not only Romeo has disappeared, but newer version of recording softwares (such as Nero) supports Joliet filesystems with filenames longer than 64 char long (the originaly supported). --Pinnecco 23:46, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Romeo broke the backward compatibility to DOS and other systems as it didn't contain ISO 9660 file system. Joilet is the combination of Romeo and ISO 9660 and cutting the file name space in half from 128 to 64 chars to save the place for ISO 9660.--80.171.118.114 (talk) 19:17, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
