> The dvd is mounted as a udf filesystem (an extension of iso fs) and An alternative... it is not compatible... (but discs often contain both...) (UDF is also used for packet writing, such as DirectCD..) > like any other fs it must have kernel support to make it accessible. And, since DVDs often contain a ISO9660 filesystem as well, it needs to be mounted with udf... do cat /proc/filesystems to see what your kernel supports Gert
