well, that's actually written in the manual of vcdimager... the actual
limitation is ISO9660 level 1;

quoting the mkisofs manpage:

              With level 1, files may only consist of one section
              and filenames are restricted to 8.3 characters.

              With  level  2,  files may only consist of one sec­
              tion.

              With level 3, no restrictions apply.

              With  all  iso9660   levels   all   filenames   are
              restricted  to  upper case letters, numbers and the
              underscore (_).  The  maximum  filename  length  is
              restricted  to 31 characters, the directory nesting
              level is restricted  to  8  and  the  maximum  path
              length is limited to 255 characters.
