ISO tab provides options for configuring the ISO file system.
ISO 9660 is a system-independent standard. It can be read on all operating systems. The following features apply:
- §
- Permits eight characters plus 3 characters for the file extension (Level 1) or 31 characters (Level 2) for the file name including the file extension.
- §
