Another value of UDF is interoperability with the redmond virii which
don't recognize 2.2 GB 9660 file systems. I have to duplicate 4.x GB of
mpeg2 files onto 30+ copies of DVD-ram, and being able to do it as UDF
instead of having to format UDF on an NT box and copying the files before
duping a disk image would save me at least one headache:)
