Burning problems" thread:
Makes me wonder if my G3 Gossamers' difficulties in reading
anyhing but pure mac OS std-cd's could be something of the same?
Dirt is a possibility, but there are also basic UDF support issues
(below).
All my other elderly macs read UDFs & MacOS ext w/o problems. I
have to use my external burner to read my own UDFs (a disk format
that my brand new G4 powerbook cannot read either!!!), thus I am
slowly recopying the UDFs to MacOS std.
Various versions of UDF used in the market:
* V1.0.2 - Basic file system used by DVD-Video discs
* V1.5 - Support for CD-R and CD-RW drives and media
* V2.0 - Support for NT streaming
* V2.0.1 - Support for Video Recording (VOR) Files
In the classic Mac OS, Apple supported UDF 1.0.2 with their "UDF
Volume Access" extension. Adaptec enhanced this with their free
"Adaptec UDF Volume Access" extension, which fully supports UDF
1.5. Many full burning packages included support for UDF 2.
The udf support i have, in os 9.2.2 (it should be there, cause its a
basic, regular install + that turing all ext off still wont read
those, NOR mac os ext. Music CDs & Mac OS files & folders usually go
ok (music is actually now the only kind of CD i dont get hassles withI).
UDF support in Mac OS X is, well, stone age. There is some minimal
low-performance support for UDF 1.0.2 in updated Jaguar/Panther/
Tiger. Apple has made a feeble attempt to improve UDF support in
Tiger, but it's still buggy, slow, and embarressingly behind the PC
world. There are some not-free 3rd party packages that support UDF
1.5 and 2, but they're not very good quality either.
Bottom line: As I was told by a guy at Apple's genius bar last
week, and again by phone support -- for advanced UDF operations,
it's best to use a PC. "advanced" == reading all those UDF discs
that work fine in OS 9 but can't be read in OS X.
Strange that, UDF is supposedly the format for DVDs, right? And,
yeah, a friends PC w/ a burner got most of my files out. But all app-
files were lost case. Obviously...
And weird that my machine virtually spits them out. And I thought
that Mac as the underdog could read anything. Guess I will have to
rethink that opinion...
