Read iso/udf disc, burn as udf only

[simonh]

Hi all, and thanks LUK for the great new version

 

I have a load of dvd-r's burnt with imgburn, using iso9660 and udf 1.02 filesystems. I'd like to read these using imgburn and then burn them on to dvd+r as UDF 1.50 only. I have tried reading as iso but no option is given for how to burn the new file. Would I have better luck using .img/.bin?

 

Failing that, would there be any problem burning on to dvd+r with the original filesystems? I seem to remember people had bother with dvd-rom booktyped +r's that had both the above filesystems on a disc.

 

Many thanks.

The Read mode copies the disc as it is (i.e. you can't change stuff). To do what you want it's easier to copy the contents of your DVDs to your computer, then use ImgBurn in Build mode to burn them back to discs. May I ask why you need UDF 1.50 only?

Thanks mmalves. I thought that dvd-rom booktyped dvd+r's behaved better when using udf only. If that is not the case then reading as .iso, and then burning would be far easier for me.

 

These discs will only be used as backups of my dvd-r's, and only read on a computer.

 

If I can just read to iso/img/bin, that would be great.

 

Edit: No particular reason for UDF 1.50, thought that might be better than 1.02

You'd think so, but no. All DVD players use what is called MicroUDF 1.02, a subset of v1.02. Just use read mode to make an ISO and write mode to burn to disc.

UDF 1.50 is only useful for data.

 

The 'standard' one is 1.02 and it's what most devices would expect to see on a DVD.

 

The UDF version is nothing to do with the booktype - and vice versa.

Thanks blutach. Read and write it is then. One more question: does reading to .img/.bin offer any advantages over reading to .iso?

 

thanks

 

Edit: LUK, These files are all avi's, flac's, mp3's. No dvd video. Does that make a difference?

No.

 

bin is typically just used by CD discs that have multiple tracks (where bin/cue is then used) - possibly with different sector sizes involved (although they'll all be the same within the bin file).

 

An ISO is a bog standard image.

Thanks Lightning. I'll read to .iso and be done with it.
