lkVCDxBuild 1.0.7.10 released

Hi all,

I've developped a forked release of the original VCDxBuild by HvR. Today I may tell you it's finished and published.

Please try it out, you can download it at : https://sourceforge.net/projects/lkvcdimager/

Compared with the original VCDxBuild, I've added support for ISO9660-2 (level 2) characteristics, meaning you now can create advanched (S)VCD's with ISO9660-2 custom files in the ISO-track.

For those who doesn't know the difference in the 2 levels of ISO9660, ISO9660-1 is restricted to max 8.3 chars for filenames, 8chars for directories and all in uppercase.
ISO9660-2 allows you to use longer filenames : files with or without an extension (max 3chars) and directories without an extension (this is the same as with ISO9660-1) but the maximal length of a dir/file can go upto 31chars.
This is not realy compliant with ISO9660-2, but I added also support for lowercase characters in dirs/filenames. It seems to work propperly in WindowsNT4 and Windows2000 (it should be in linux too).
Though DOS capable devices still can read the filenames of those with longer names, it just convert it to the 8.3-standard using the '~nn' at the end of the file

There are no major changes to the building of the actual (S)VCD. A disk created with lkVCDxBuild still works propperly in a standalone DVD-player (as if it was created using the original VCDxBuild). Though I've done some major optimalisations in the original code to let the application work faster.

This release is targeted for the win32-platform only.
For anyone who wants to have a portable version, please read the accomponing ReadMe_1st.txt file in the download.

Regards,
