nintennuendo Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Mostly they are tv shows, comic books, pictures or music DVDs. Ten or 12 of them. I burnt one or two DivX dvds, and it asked if I wanted to change the file naming, I said sure, I though it would change the names back once they were not DivX anymore, but it didn't. Is there any way for me to get the original file names back anymore? Three or four of them are Comic DVDs and with no reading order or even proper names, it would days days to copy them and rename them all correctly, not to mention everything else.

mmalves Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 DivX discs use ISO9660 + Joliet filesystems, which allows (by default) files/folder names up to 64 characters. Is this not enough for you? Now if you're seeing only up to 11 characters (including file extension) then whatever program you're using is only reading the ISO9660 filesystem.

nintennuendo Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) I used Windows Explorer and xplorer2. The thing is the computer is not reading the full names of the programs, just 11 or so characters Edit: In case I'm not being clear, this is what I mean. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d74/nintennuendo/files.jpg Edited September 13, 2009 by nintennuendo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Use IsoBuster to try and see if there's a Joliet (or maybe UDF) filesystem on your disc, and if there is, you may be able to extract the files with their full names. Alternatively, use ImgBurn's Read mode to create an ISO image from that disc and then use WinRAR to open that ISO image to see if the long filenames are there.

nintennuendo Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Tried IsoBuster, didn't find the long names, but I wasn't quite sure how to, anyway. Ripping to ISO and I'll try that with IZarc and daemon tools.] edit: ripped ISO, mounted and examined, and open with extraction tool IZarc. is there a method to read the different names, or if they show up truncated and cap'd, are they useless?

mmalves Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think you burned the disc with only ISO9660 filesystem, hence why the names are all in capital letters and truncated to 8.3 characters Can you post the log from when you've used ImgBurn to create an ISO from that disc? You can find the logs in ImgBurn's Help menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
