ISO 9660 duplicated Volume Descriptors

2002-03-29 Thread LJKnews
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the philosophy behind duplicating Volume Descriptors on a single CDROM ? (I refer to exact copies, not one or more Supplementary Volume Descriptors that each provide their own hierarchy with possibly different character sets and possibly the same

SUSP System Use Entry "RR"

DVD Logical Sector Size for ISO 9660

2002-06-15 Thread LJKnews
So far as I know, the ISO 9660 Logical Sector Size on CDROM is always 2048 bytes. While it would be possible to comply with ISO 9660 using some larger Logical Sector Size, it would require out-of-band indications of this deviation from the norm. I had guessed that the choice of 2048 for the Logic
