Universal Disk Format that is required for {DVD ROMs}. UDF is the {OSTA}'s replacement for the {ISO 9660} file system used on CD-ROMs, but will be mostly used on DVD. {DVD multimedia} disks use UDF to contain {MPEG} {audio} and {video} {streams}. To read DVDs you need a DVD drive, the {kernel} driver for the drive, MPEG video support, and a UDF driver. DVDs containing both UDF filesystems and ISO 9660 filesystems can be read without UDF support. UDF can also be used by {CD-R} and {CD-RW} recorders in {packet writing} mode. (1999-09-01) |
