Another value of UDF is interoperability with the redmond virii which don't recognize 2.2 GB 9660 file systems. I have to duplicate 4.x GB of mpeg2 files onto 30+ copies of DVD-ram, and being able to do it as UDF instead of having to format UDF on an NT box and copying the files before duping a disk image would save me at least one headache:) --- David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
