Well... Sorta! UDF is based on ISO 13346. It only supports max 1 gig files (notice the UDF structure on a Home Video DVD uses a VOB size max 1 gig) and only supports 8.3 filenames, so no LFN's here! But DVD-r uses an extension to UDF called m-UDF. It is a combo of UDF and ISO 9660 (Bridge), therefore enhanced proerties! Search the net, this is a standard so there will be plenty of info!

I have managed to get linux to read, though not write, to UDF formatted CDs by using the command: mount -t udf /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 This, on my system at least, has to be done as root. Also, I don't always seem to be able to unmount it afterwards. > -- For me, morning begins when I realize that the soft warm body curled up next to me is a cat. -- Frequent Flyer
