genisoimage and truncating of file names

I am creating an iso with genisoimage prepatory to burning it to dvd
for backing up of my music collection, and on checking the resulting
disc I'm finding that the mp3 name is truncated to the first word of
its title. I feel that this is happening with genisoimage and would
obvioulsy like to have the full mp3 title.
The command to genisoimage is ......... genisoimage -o
~/irishceltic.iso /home/boztu/Music/Irish\ Celtic\ Music\ Collection\
Version\ 2/ .......... which creates the file irishceltic.iso .
I cant see anything in man genisoimage or its help file of any use for
this problem, and would welcome any help that people can give.
Thanks
Sharon.

It probably doesn't like spaces in filenames.

I'd convert all the files to names without spaces.
I'd also remove any single or double quotes in them.
I, myself, would be interested in a better way of doing this.

do the trick here. -J is good particularly if you want your disc to work on
non-Linux or UNIX operating systems.

There's something about geniso and long filenames here:

For this time I have no idea which exactly options for the .iso making
program parameters but I can assure You that it is possible - I did
that many times years ago (I did it w/ k3b) and there was no need to
change any how dir./file -names - all looked well.
Just play w/ diver options, using just single file - to make Your tests
faster.

./irishceltic.iso is larger than 4GiB-1.
-allow-limited-size was not specified. There is no way do represent
this file size. Aborting.
irishceltic.iso is 18.9gb in size

see what I've done and in what order too.
However, my final act was to burn the xaa.iso file to a dvd using k3b.
Looking at the finished dvd I see that every file name is truncated to
the first 12 characters, something which I think k3b is doing. Is
there any way round this that folks know please? It seems a pity to
spoil all the work done at the final step!
Thanks
Sharon.

Eight-dot-three is technically 12 characters. I wouldn't be surprised if the

culprit is genisoimage and not k3b. It looks like the default filesystem is
ISO9660. The man page doesn't say which level, but Level 1 can't handle long
filenames. If the filename length matters, I use the "-l" switch to enable
full 31-characters. There are other options that enable longer filenames. "man genisoimage" is your friend.
I find it amazing that splitting an iso file results in something a DVD player can read. Actually, this could be the problem too, depending on how the meta information about the filesystem is stored.
As others have said, it's probably best if you create multiple DVD-sized iso files rather than chopping up one giant file. It sure seems like there would be some script out there that handles disk spanning, but nothing came up with my initial google search. Maybe because everyone else does what I do, which is fire up Brasero and select the files by hand?
