Saving to CD or DVD halts on " too long" titles. How many characters do each allow?

I don't exactly remember, but windows can't handle File Names of something like 250 t0 260 characters. The Burning software I use automatically shortens long File names, seems that something got Burned wrong.

I think it is 255 also, but your burning software may have other limits. Your problem 
is most likely coming from the path length, not the filename itself.
