Just to expand on this a bit, there are some useful options:

-J  used to include Joliet extentions which make long filenames
available to Windows systems.

-r  used to include Rock Ridge attributes, which make long filenames and
file attributes available on most Unix variants.

So, to make a cross-platform (Win/Unix) image file of a CD that has been
mounted at /mnt/cdrom, you something like:

mkisofs -rJ -o <outfile.iso> /mnt/cdrom

I've never created an HFS-enabled CD (used for MacOS), but that can be
done, too.
