I thought UDF (dvd format) had LFN support built-in.
DVDs, AFAIK, use ISO9660. UDF is used for packet writing of CDs
Does anyone know the patent status of ISO9660 and UDF?
It sure would be a
bummer to find out that they are patented too.
UDF may be Adaptec's territory. ISO9660, well, is called ISO-something for
a reason: it's a standard. But it just sucks too much to be used as-is
(hence Joliet, ElTorito, etc.)
Also, whence cometh El Toritio?
should be patent-free. Full of UNIX-isms that shouldn't get in the way too much
