It was buggy and crashed regularly so I removed it. I believe this functionality was rolled into the Nero software itself as a feature at some later date/version. This was also incorporated into Vista. Bottom line is this is a non-standard UDF format and since the limited UDF support in FreeBSD doesn't support it you will need to have your friend remaster the disk as a CD9660. The limited support for UDF in FreeBSD predates this feature, and likely will never have it anytime soon. -Mike
