9 You only used Joliet (-J)?

11 Maybe you need this option instead (or "as well"):
12
13
14 -joliet-long
15 Allow Joliet filenames to be up to 103 Unicode characters.
16 This breaks the Joliet specification - but appears to work. Use with
17 caution.
18 The number 103 is derived from: the maximum Directory
19 Record Length (254), minus the length of Directory Record (33), minus
20 CD-ROM XA System Use Extension Information (14), divided by the UTF-16
21 character size (2).
22
23 You might also want
24
25 -l Allow full 31 character filenames. Normally the ISO9660
26 filename will be in an 8.3 format which is compatible with MS-DOS, even
27 though the ISO9660 standard allows filenames of up to 31 characters. If
28 you use this option, the disc may be difficult to use on a MS-DOS
29 system, but this comes in handy on some other systems (such as the
30 Amiga). Use with caution.

32 Check man mkisofs for more details :) .
