My russian titled files are burned to DVDs with random numbers as names?

I have a bunch of movies that I have named in russian (I have russian MUI in Windows XP SP2)
When I make a compilation in Nero 7 these files are renamed as 191e~1.avi, 110c~1.avi..... etc....
Although in Windows Explorer they are in the Russian alphabet (Cyrillic) what is going on, I used to have a computer (in Russia) that had the same Operating System, and using Nero I was able to burn DVDs and CDs with the Russian names intact.
How can I back up my data and still keep the same names?

ASKER

that language pack only works for nero 6
plus I installed the russian, spanish and french (and of course english) support for Nero 7 and it still doesn't do it
Do you guys know any other DVD/CD Burning Programs that this would work on.

I'm not going to zip or .rar the files, because I usually put like 6, 700 MB files on a DVD, and I want them to be watchable directly.

I'm using UDF in Nero 7 and I don't see anything that mentions character set when I go to burn.
I figured it out:

I went to control panel.
Date, Time, Language & Regional Options
Regional & Language Options
Advanced tab.
Then under the phrase "Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use:"
It was ENglish, I changed it to Russian and it works fine now.
Though I must admit, it was just a crap shoot.  I don't quite understand this option or phrase.

Is this saying that Nero 7 is a non-Unicode program and by changing this to Russian I said okay since this program is non-Unicode use Russian by default.

????
dazed and confused, but happy dave.
What is a PB recorder, when referring to DVD/CD burning applications.
Nero says that it supports PB recorders only?

scrathcyboy >> I already had Russian installed as a Keyboard option as I often type in russian (that's why I have files named (and viewable in Russian via Windows Explorer) but the Advanced tab was key to finding the UNicode program option, NOT the Keyboard languages.

Well,
Lovewithnoface is right.
But, I don't think that the points should dissappear, and as I have the problem solved, I will not needlessly leave this open.
THanks for the patience everyone.
