Blu-ray writing comes to FreeBSD
Looks like a new release of dvd+rw-tools, 7.0, which I just committed, brings in support for Blu-ray writing. Cool! Too bad I don’t have hardware to check it out. I was one of the first people to use dvd+rw-tools to write dual layer DVD+R, but this time, the price of Blu-ray unit is still prohibitively high.
Now someone get me proggie that will write pure UDF images for burning. Is it really there’s nothing like that for Linux/UNIX, or was I just exceptionally unlucky googling for it?

You can use the mkisofs program included into the dvdrtools (http://www.nongnu.org/dvdrtools/) to create udf disc images. Use -udf key to do this.

Doesn’t seem to be any webpage on the URL you gave. Also – does dvdrtools have different mkisofs than what comes with cdrtools? Because the cdrtools’ mkisofs can’t do pure UDF images, just ISO9660 coupled with UDF metadata.

Yeah… It seems to be down temorary. Use `svn co svn://arklinux.org/dvdrtools/trunk` to checkout the source code.
This repo includes a modified version of mkisofs that can produce a real udf images.
BTW, why not use UFS?:-)

Interesting. Too bad the latest svn revision does not compile on FreeBSD. It wants some functions from scsi-linux-ata.c …
