[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 959977, member: 131855"] "As intended, initially UDF operated mainly on optical media. Most operating systems needed special third-party software to support reading it. Nowadays, almost all operating systems natively support at least reading UDF file systems, and many support some form of writing as well. " That quote might explain part of the problem. I tried this for a while when it was first introduced because I wanted to use CDRWs and preferably with both Mac and PC. I abandoned the idea because the data did not seem stable. Most of the software I used, including Roxio stuff if I recall, needed a system extension to read/write the files on the Mac. Come back a few weeks later and the data might not be readable. Not sure why that was happening. I began to wonder if the standard wasn't in flux a bit with different manufacturers using slight different implementations. If that was happening it might explain why the current OS, most now support this natively, are having a problem.
