Yes, that works.

But you won't be happy with the speed of Solaris' udfs
filesystem.  And the slowness of the optical media doesn't
help, either.

I just copied four big bzip2'ed files (62MBytes:
on-closed-bins-20060214.i386.tar.bz2,
SUNWonbld-20060214.i386.tar.bz2,
on-src-20060214.tar.bz2 and
SUNWonbld-20060214.sparc.tar.bz2)
to a UDFS filesystem on a DVD-RAM media,  and 
that needed almost 20 minutes!!

==> 50 kbytes / sec!


UFS and ZFS (!) are at least an order of magnitude faster on 
DVD-RAM media, when compared to UDFS, I'd say.
