timoteo Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hi, after doing some reading, I think I have the whole ISO9660, Joliet, UDF "thing" down. But please correct me if I'm wrong on the following. I am burning some data DVD discs for use in Windows 7, with possible need to use them at some point in Windows XP. Some of the files have relatively long names, and some are buried deep within many sub-directories. For this disc to work properly, I do NOT require Joliet (or ISO9660 for that matter), so the "UDF"-only setting should work fine, correct? Also, I assume I could use UDF Revision 2.01 without any consequence as well, correct? (And of course when I go to make a DVD video disc, I need to set it back to 1.02 and ISO9660 + UDF.) Did I get any of that wrong, or are all my assumptions correct? Also, this begs the question ... when would you want to use Joliet? I guess only if you thought you might need to use the disc in OS's before XP? Thanks, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yup, just using UDF is fine and XP can read 2.01 without the need for any 3rd party drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timoteo Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks for verifying for me. And on the Joliet ... am I on the mark there as well? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Some standalone devices only read certain types of data (like that on a DVD Video disc) from the UDF file system. Otherwise they use Joliet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
