Hello Mau,

I don't use udftools myself. I'm always open for suggestions on how to 
improve its documentation, but I need other people's help for this.

The following "recipe" is from the German c't magazine (8/2006,p.122) and 
is advertised as the right way to do it for DVD-RAM. If this works for you 
(possibly adjusted for DVD-RW), I can include it in the package's 
README.Debian.

Format the DVD with:
mkudffs --udfrev=0x0150 --spartable=2 --media-type=dvdram /dev/pktcdvd/0

The above is for UDF 1.50, use --udfrev=0x0201 for UDF 2.01. The version 
decision has mostly to do with compatibility:

- Windows 98/ME can read up to v1.02
- Win2k, Mac OS 9, Linux 2.4 can read up to v1.50
- Win XP/2003 up to v2.01
- Linux 2.6 up to v2.60

For normal data, UDF 1.50 is OK. UDF 2.00 and 2.01 introduce additional 
functionality for streaming audio/video media.

To mount the disk, something like this is needed in /etc/fstab:

/dev/pktcdvd/0 /media/dvd-ram udfnoatime,rw,sync,user,noauto 0 0

Hope this helps - please give me feedback if you try it out!

Cheers,

  Richard
