[olug] mkisofs options for DVD mount on Windows

Hi,
I'm burning a data DVD under Linux for a Windows user. The DVD file structure/names appear correctly when mounted under
Linux, but under Windows everything got the 8.3 file naming restriction treatment which especially sucks since most of
the files where 'flac' files (they all came out *.FLA).
General Windows anger aside, I'm thinking this may be due to a parameter I did (or did not) pass into mkisofs when I
created the ISO image to burn.
Here are the mkisofs and growisofs commands I used:
$ mkisofs -o d1.iso -r -v -V "Trip Shakespeare 1987-1991" d1
$ growisofs -Z /dev/scd1=d1.iso -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -speed=4
The -r in mkisofs is for Rock Ridge (for longer Unix file names I think). I wonder if I need to pass in -J which is
Microsoft's Joliet "file system". Anyone know for sure?
If all else fails I guess I could try something like k3b.
Thanks,
Eric
