I noticed, as I spend some time reading his avid note taking, and use dvd+rw-tools quite often. >Use mkisofs. Note that growisofs use mkisofs to create udf filesystems. The "-UDF"/"-udf" switch, as documented within the mkisofs man file, sectors 20-256 are supposedly wasted. I calculated this to be about 236 sectors * 2048 bytes (as 2048 bytes are contained within one DVD sector), is about 483,328 bytes, or roughly ~483MB. However, speculating upon the wording of the man page, the usage as you already stated, is likely just minimal. >A Bluray Players may support ISO-9660, but there is no need, since movies have >their own data structures in the *IFO files that are located via a magic >number >and must be in a spoecific block range on the medium. > >The standard requires the UDF that is implemented in mkisofs since 2001. On that note concerning the "standard", my gut instict is to just use the "-UDF"/"-udf" options. The wasted space is likely a moat issue, and only a concern when preserving a copy of copywrited DVD/BD material. My DVD/BD recorded media should be viewable via a very basic file system viewer/menu on TV standalone bluray players, manually selected and viewed/played, as long as the standalong player has the decoders. I'll do my research based on what you stated here, as I've been using CLI growisofs. I also *just* noticed the ability of using cp/rm (POSIX) tools with DVD+RW/BD-RE not requiring the Linux kernel pktcdvd driver (supposedly marked deprecated as of 2016), although I have yet to test writing with larger files, likely expect more noise or random writing at 2kb writes instead of 32kb writes. Remember, the intent of this thread is TV standalong bluray players, not related to PC equipment. I just desire to make non-copyrighted files such as photos and recorded video only viewed/playable without nice looking menus, other eye-candy, or automatic playback, etc. I might have to buy a cheap standalone player to ensure the player is acting as it should with the chosen recording process, rather than just assuming. Surprising I cannot find more information on the Internet concerning a simplified process, and guessing most just run-off and use the graphical tools. Or, people have been using mkisofs (or growisofs with) -dvd-audio/-dvd-hybrid/-dvd-video all along. -- Roger http://rogerx.sdf.org/
