    udf/iso format in linux/ubuntu...

    why can i not use any udf dvdr that i have burnt off in the past.is it purely not compatable or do i need a specific plugin or?
    always had no idea why they wouldn't mount... purely guessed it was due to not being supported but as I'm not certain of this I thought I'd ask.
    cheers for any info

    Good riddance. Wish I'd done it about a year ago.

    depends on the udf version

    try mounting by hand - "mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /tmp/somenewfolder" and see if there are any errors, or anything at the end of dmesg or /var/log/messages

    ok i will try that in the morning just briefly checking back here for a reply.if it matters it was made with nero 6 awhile ago well all disks were.their either udf/iso or udf's i think its the udf/iso as i remember it saying for files bigger than 2gb? use the udf/iso file system?
    not sure if that helps.cheers for your suggestion though i will let you know later.

    you're correct - the standard dvd file system (iso9660) doesn't support files over 2 gig (well, not really. it can sometimes maybe, but no guarantees anything will read it), hence the use of udf instead (udf is used on some retail dvds, plus blu-ray/hd-dvd discs)
