Using mkhybrid

Also available is mkhybrid, a variation of mkisofs that supports special records provided in the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol. mkhybrid supports longer file names and writing CD-ROM's which are readable as ISO9660 format on PC's and HFS format on Macintoshes. Also supported are special representations of UNIX-unfriendly file and directory characters as used by packages such as CAP (Columbia Appletalk Package); refer to the mkhybrid man page for more information. You can create a combined ISO9660 and HFS premaster image using CAP file name interpretation with this (tcsh) command line:

mkhybrid --cap -hlLavrT -o <output file> <path> >& mkhybrid.out

--cap   Look for AUFS CAP Macintosh file names
-h      Create ISO9660/HFS hybrid premaster image
-lLavrT as per mkisofs
