Basically, the Joliet Volume Access System Extension enhances the way your Macintosh computer can read CD-ROMs from other platforms, mainly Windows.

Until now, if you inserted a Windows CD-ROM in your Mac, file names appeared to be crippled (in the so-called 8.3 format) or files may have been inaccessible. This Joliet extension is designed to solve these problems.

Especially, if you have CD-ROMs with the following contents you'll likely benefit from this enhancement:
• MP3 songs
• Files in PDF format with cross-references or indexes
• Java class and/or source files
• Web content with hyperlinks, such as HTML files.
• DirectCD CD-Rs created and closed under Windows
• Picture CDs created by some Sony digital camera
• AKAI sound sampler CDs.

What's New:
Support for discs with more than 2GB in size, such as DVDs
Support for HFS+ long names: You can now optionally preserve the original names, even if they're longer than 31 chars, provided you want to use them with Mac OS X or other Mac OS 9 tools that support long names (such as Kilometre Browser and ZipIt)
Fixed a crashing bug that would occur when mounting a CD with non-roman characters in the volume names while using a non-roman script system.
Time stamps are now correct again (there were offset by a few hours depending on the difference to GMT).
