When I do it from the command line I use mkisofs then cdrecord.  On the 
mkisofs command I specify -J for Joliet stuff and -r for for Rockridge 
stuff.  Here's part of the man for -r:

       -R     Generate SUSP and RR records using the Rock  Ridge  protocol 
to
              further describe the files on the iso9660 filesystem.
 

       -r     This is like the -R option, but file ownership and modes are 
set
              to more useful values.

I never have any problems.
