This is NOT just a problem with playing discs on Windows machines, it
also affects playback on some proprietory DVD players ond recorders.
Foe example, I get a "This disc is incompatible" error when attempting
playback on my Panasonic DMR-EX85 machine. The error is definitely
caused by genisofs on lenny. I do not get the error when creating
disks on a Ubuntu laptop which still uses mkisofs.

a good idea.
