DVDs are not created as UDF filesystems

[Andrew Jorgensen]

When creating DVDs the filesystem is created as ISO, just as it should be for a
CD. Some DVD players will cope with this, but many will not. It seems like if
I am burning a DVD it should use UDF for the filesystem, or perhaps it should
have an option. I'm not sure whether this should be considered a bug or a
feature request.

Also consider that iso9660 has size limits around 2 GB or 4 GB.
And filename legth limits etc...

Just use UDF.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into
our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 17592.

This is NOT a duplicate of 11307! They are completely different issues with
completely different solutions.

[Andrew Jorgensen (ajorg)]

11307 is about adding packet writing support. This bug is about writing DVD
compliant DVDs with nautilus-cd-burner. UDF happens to be the filesystem in
question in both bugs, but DVD-Video is most definitely not packet-written.

I've forwarded this issue upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309204

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

there is some discussion on the upstream bug if you want to read them

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

upstream comment:

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Disk_Format

Since ISO 9660 is fully compatible with UDF capable systems and UDF is not
compatible with ISO 9600 only capable systems. I don't think that n-c-b should
use UDF."

I'm closing the bug. Feel free to reopen if you want to argue with upstream

[David Balažic (xerces8)]

Every system, that can handle DVDs, can also handle UDF.
