I'm backing up data to CD-R disks, using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.

I'm given the options of UDF102 or ISO-9660.

I would like to be able to read the disks from multiple optical drives.

Which standard do you suggest that I use?

Thanks for your time.

Iso

Dave:

I forgot to mention that I will use the disk in PCs running W98, W 2000 & W XP.

Does that alter your answer?

Why do you recommend ISO?

Easy Media Creator 7
Imation CD-R disks
Windows XP SP1, NTFS

When I tried to create a data disk, but I am informed that I must limit file & folder names to 8 characters.

I think I used ISO.

No
Use ISO Level 2 Mode 1 with Joliet and ISO9660 character set and relax ISO restrictions.
(if Roxio allows those selections - look in preferences - I use Nero)
ISO is the universally used standard.

Dave:
Thanks.

I'll look for those preferences / restrictions & post my findings.

Yep, a no-brainer, use the ISO format.
