When burning files to CD's or DVD's created by Brasero, the text associated with each file is converted to upper case letters and abrev in which Windows XP is unable to read, therefore Windows XP believes the files to be either corrupted or unreadable. For Example, I will name a File "File" and Brasero changes text to FILSOMETHING or FILE000.EXE. Which many of the files are exe files for windows xp as I am reinstalling windows and need to download files from internet and burn to cd. I would like to know how to solve this issue. Thanks

Bug Description

Here is my specs:
Linux Mint Felicia Ubuntu 8.10
Kernel Linux 2.6.27-7 generic
Gnome 2.24.1

Package: Brasero 0.8.4

I expect to happen is help in resolving Burning issue regarding Brasero and conflict with Windows XP. The other thing I want to mention is that in a linux environment, the CD's created using Brasero are 100 % readable without any capitalization or abbrev in file names. However, when transporting to a Windows XP environment the disk are either corrupted or unreadable. The files are show up with files renamed form lower case to upper case letters and abbreviated in which windows xp is unable to read.
