The preferred file system is the Universal Disk Format (UDF) in versions from 1.50 onward, which is also used by DLA. Packet writing is not required for writing DVD-RAM . DVD-RAM media are already sectored (which can be seen when looking at the surface of an empty DVD-RAM disc) and the hardware logic of DVD-RAM capable drives supports sectored ...
