I would, absolutely, use mkisofs with appropriate options.
This allows long file names on Windows and Unix on the same CD.
Ahhh, but you're worried about the old 8.3-only readers.
That wasn't my concern, just unix/windows long names.
There's no real web site, and Herr Schilling is sometimes a little curt in
his tech support.
I have used
mkisofs -V "Backup 2001-10-20" -J -r -o /cygdrive/c/backup.iso .
Once you have the iso image, you can write to CD with most writers.
