A codec is any module / plug-in that encodes or decodes a data format for the software layers above/below. In this particular case, I'm thinking the problem is that the OS isn't recognizing the underlying data format on the disc (the format underneath the hybrid file systems). The classic Mac OS, since 8.1, has included Apple's UDF Volume Access extension - a codec to support UDF 1.02. According to my notes, data CD-R support wasn't added until the UDF 1.5 standard. Products such as Toast include that support. In leiu of that, there was a free product from Adaptec, also called "UDF Volume Access", that supports UDF 1.5. Check the normal repositories for it. If you don't find, email me privately - I probably have a copy.
