I have Sonic RecordNow! Deluxe 7.3 and it doesn't have any helpful features when it comes to dealing with filenames/paths that are too long.  It says the files will not be burned and asks whether or not I want to continue.

I do a lot of data recovery and sometimes there are hundreds of files + paths that are too long.  Does EMC9 have a better way of dealing with this, like automatically shortening the name/path?  If so, it would be worth it for me.  I searched the pdf manual but couldn't find any info.  An answer would be awesome!

Sure.  You can use any number of the programs in EMC 9, but if you are talking about data burning, then Creator Classic will work for you.

You need to have Windows 2000 or a version of Windows XP on your computer to burn the long filenames/paths, if you want to be able to read them.

Also this is a limitation of the Optical media File Systems. The only one that allows close to what you can create with XP/W2K is UDF with No Bridge.

Joliet and ISO9660 are vintage Win9/NT.
