The mount command should normally load the udf driver by itself .

If mount fails, it indicates a incompatibility with the driver or something written on the dvd disk like a MBR or whatever makes mount-FULL binary believe something is not (100%) correct or whatever .

I can mount udf dvd without problems, if i haven't experimented too much with them .

mount has got the '-s' option to tolerate sloppy mounts .

Just got a blu ray burner and a 50 pkg. PuppyLinux has some unpolished support. But no coasters yet. Pburn throws an error but disks are readible in mythbunu, but not puppy 5.3.3

Working on it and will have something in a few weeks

Hey Ted! Long time no hear from you.

Late last year I got a LG Blu-Ray burner and several Kodak BU-RE disks to learn on. I found that Pburn generally has no trouble burning to Blu-Ray disks, including rewritable ones, though there was some odd thing I can't remember. I may have mentioned it in the Pburn thread.

add -UDF and remove Joilet switches works for my blu-ray bootable puppies.
I made a little script/system. First open a downloaded puppy-version iso. click and copy everything inside the iso into a isotemp folder copy or move (what I did, its faster on the same drive) large file stuffs up to 24.02 G as shown by right clicking on isotemp folder and properties. Then run the burn script, 35mins later repeat, until all files are backed up. Hope to finish backing up my 'storage' 1.5T HD to blu-ray bootable data discs before Monday. Need to add a 'beep' or 'bark' to the script, this blu-ray burner is so quiet I can't tell if its finished burning.

Sorry to put the bushel in front of the light, but I'd like to ask what may be an essential question...

What is the utility of the UDF format nowadays ?

And its corollary:

What is the utility of having UDF in Puppy? (Besides reading data from UDF CD's burnt in Windows or other distros, of course.)

Thanks in advance.

I recently received a couple of sticks of files that Windows users have burned onto Live media (DVD). No PUPPY that I have would read them.

At first, I had assume that I had made some mistakes. So, that what led me to try differing distros. I tried

LightHouse64 - My 64bit production system
FatSlacko - My 32bit production system
RACY, Puppy, FatDOG601, etc.

For those who are unaware of this problem, this may help you:
Scenario
Windows user uses their system to copy a file (say an ISO, for instance) to a new DVD media. It is given to you. You wait for your PUP to register its icon and you click on it when it arrives onto your desktop.

(What was so embarrassing about this is that they were staring over my shoulder as I was "flailing" around the desktop trying to read this in front of these seasoned Windows users. Sheer embarrassment!)

The only system(s) that I have which had no problem with the media is Windows and my MAC.

I, too, thought this odd and am hoping that the recent distros in alpha-beta-RC testing acknowledge this thread and add this into the system, OOTB....please. As minor as this may seem, addressing this should help the broad spectrum on our community.

Thanks for understanding the need of something which is expected to be so simple...reading media without thinking about its formats/protocols.

Here to help.
