I don't think there is any problems with the folder contents. The CD file
system can't handle to long file-names and these are truncated. Depending on
your copying/burner software you sometime get a question how to handle the
long file-name and a chance to rename the file copy.

This will give you a split screen to compare folders in.

It also will create backup files for you.
