Joliet is an extension of the ISO 9660 standard, which allows long filenames and other modern features. It is used in newer CD or DVD-ROMs, and for operating systems, such as Windows NT and Windows 95 and higher. Because the Joliet specification is ISO 9660 compliant, disks recorded according to the Joliet specification may continue to interchange data with non-Joliet systems.
