I don't believe FreeBSD supports greater than UDF 1.5. I ran into this issue a while back after building an ISO image server to present an NFS volume to VMware ESX servers to allow O/S and Software installation media for mounting as guest Machines CDROMS. I also chose to write scripts and mount the ISO images as file systems to allow access to them via Samba when mounting the CD Wasn't necessary. A few software DVDs we had at the time used UDF 2.0, and I was unable to read them. This server was built on FreeBSD 7.2, but I haven't noticed anything in release notes since stating an update to the UDF version support. Of course that doesn't mean it hasn't been updated, and either not included, or I missed them. Just something that I think you should check into before getting to far into any project with Blu-Ray burning on FreeBSD. -- Thanks, Dean E. Weimer http://www.dweimer.net/
