Can anyone tell me how to brun CD with chinese character file name ? I am not able o burn a CD/DVD with Chinese characer as file name. Will the code page Input/Output help ?
I try, but don't know which code page should I use. In my WinXP I was using traditional Chinese Big-5 so which code page should I select ?

Well, I do not have much experience regarding character encoding and codepages. Anyway ...
What exactly do you mean with 'not being able to burn a CD/DVD with Chinese characer as file name'? Does cdrtfe have problems to handle files or file names with Chinese characters or does the resulting CD/DVD have a wrong character encoding which leads to unusable file names?
If the latter is the case, you could try the following:
If you are using Chinese Big-5, the Windows codepage would be 950. Unfortunately, mkisofs up to version 2.01.01a27 doesn't support this codepage. The newer versions have ICONV support. However, these versions are not yet considered as "stable".
You will also need the dll pack (dlls.zip) and the new cygwin1.dll (1.5.24-2).
Copy the cdrtools executables into the folder \tools\cdrtools and all DLLs into \tools\cygwin. Both folders are located in the cdrtfe program folder, if you are using cdrtfe 1.3pre2. Otherwise, just copy all files into the cdrtfe program folder.
mkisofs should be able to detect the right codepage. If not, you can specify the correct codepage by using
-input-charset <codepage>
as additional commandline option for mkisofs (Dialog 'Settings' -> cdrecord). The option input charset from the filysystem dialog doesn't support the new codepage names yet. Replace <codepage> with CP950 or BIG-5.

You could try mkisofs 2.01.01a33. Dowload it from (e.g.)
