I've read your note below and I'd be happy to try the two suggestions you have made (choose UDF for the file system and set NO Bridge for the option) to resolve this frustrating problem -- i don't expect to encounter anyone using my CD on 9x or NT at this point.
But I cannot find where, in Roxio 7, one specifies options for anything described as "File System" or "Bridge".
The only place I can see a couple of options is under Tools/Options but I don't see anything like what you describe.  
Where can I try to make the changes you suggest?  Thanks!  - Milo

You are running headlong into two separate but related limitations, the Operating System and Joliet file system…

Joliet Standards:

Filename – 64 characters max
Pathname – 128 characters (full path + filename)
8 subdirectories max
4gb file length limit

Nothing is going to change that, not V6, V7 or anything else!

Operating System: NO, Win9x or NT operating system can read past those limits on a CD!

XP/W2K can read past them but then you have to be able to create a CD without using Joliet…

V6 & V7 can create such a CD but only if you choose UDF for the file system and set NO Bridge for the option. But keep in mind no Win9x/NT machine can read past Joliet limits.

So you have Easy Media Creator v7 ?

Is it 7 or 7.5 ?

Is it a retail version or an OEM [came with hardware, like a pc or drive]?

The options you are looking for should be in Creator Classic after you open that app.
