hrmmm OK, thanks, sorry for teh noise, I'll have to investigate why 
current man pages are not installed, since I have man page saying



-iso-level level
     Set the iso9660 conformance level. Valid numbers are 1..3 and 4.

     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 section.

     With level 3, no restrictions (other than ISO-9660:1988) do apply.

     With all iso9660 levels from 1..3, 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.

     Level 4 officially does not exists but mkisofs maps it to 
ISO-9660:1999 which is ISO-9660 version 2.

     With level 4, an enhanced volume descriptor with version number and 
file structure version number set to 2 is emitted. There may be more 
than 8 levels of directory nesting, there is no need for a file to 
contain a dot and the dot has no more special meaning, file names do not 
have version numbers, the maximum length for files and directory is 
raised to 207. If Rock Ridge is used, the maximum ISO-9660 name length 
is reduced to 197.

     When creating Version 2 images, mkisofs emits an enhanced volume 
descriptor which looks similar to a primary volume descriptor but is 
slightly different. Be careful not to use broken software to make 
ISO-9660 images bootable by assuming a second PVD copy and patching this 
putative PVD copy into an El Torito VD.



...... which obviously differs from what you show...
Cheers
