adijumi Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 While using Ubuntu (linux) I burned DvD with text files. I checked it and it was OK.Later I opened thet DvD from windows XP and all filenames were shortened. For example word ''Adventures'' was shortened to ''_ADVE000''. On Ubuntu I have them normal, but only on windows they are short, why and how to restore/see normal ones from windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adijumi Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 They are so short that I don't understant which file is which. Any help? Is there an application what could convert them back to full names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adijumi Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 No help yet? It's almost a week. If you do not understand my question please ask for details, but I need help. Why my windows sees all filenames short, while Ubuntu sees them normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 How long were the original filenames?http://geekswithblogs.net/lvega/archive/20.../03/118220.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adijumi Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Some folder names were short as 40 and they got shortened. Filenames were usually longer, but even short ones got reduced to first letters and zeros. The thing what interests me is - Why Linux sees them correctly from the same disc, but windows doesn't?
