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!
