I was originally searching for info on this topic because my wife got a CD-R from her relatives that was supposed to have billions of scanned family pictures on it. Unfortunately the person writing the CD-R used "DirectCD" from adaptec which uses UDF and packet writing, rather than burning an ISO9660 filesystem the "traditional" way. Thus, I was not able to "see" the contents under FreeBSD. It just got me curious. Your code will not go un-appreciated!
