Burning Blu-ray Data Disc with ImgBurn.

[bbanderic]

I'm looking to burn a Blu-ray Data Disc consisting of a mix of .wav files and video.ts files for backup purposes. Should I use the ISO9660 + UDF 1.02 file structure that we use for Data DVD or should I use UDF 2.50 since it's going on a Blu-ray disc. I ask because the data is going on a Blu-ray disc but doesn't consist of Blu-ray video files. Or will either option work in this case.

TIA

About all I can do is to refer you to this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Disk_Format I've been using 1.02 with ImgBurn for BD data files, but I've no idea if that is the best option.

Others may have better advice.

Use udf 2.5 or 2.6 to burn authored BDMV/CERTIFICATE folders,for blu-ray UDF 1.02 will work fine.The only reason to use ISO9660 is for programs that can only read the old dos 8+3 characters,depending on what level ISO9960 its limited to.

If you think you might have a need for it to be read by Windows XP or an earlier version of Windows you could use 1.02, but honestly I don't think that's very important and you might as well use 2.5 or 2.6.

ISO9660 compatibility is essentially useless in my opinion and if any of your files are larger than 4 GB, you will not be allowed to use it.

That was my guess, 1.02 would be ok but might as well go with the newer 2.50. I wasn't sure whether or not the 2.50 was strictly for BDMV/CERTIFICATE or can be used with data BD containing non-BDMV files as well.

I'm running Windows 7, so I'll give 2.50 a shot and see what happens. Thanks for the response guys .

Udf 1.02 up to 2.6 are pretty well meant for optical drives and how they are burned and read with improvements to cdrw/dvdrw and blu-ray,udf was brought out to replace ISO9660 so as long as you system can read udf 2.5 burn away,the reason you burn blu-ray movies with 2.5,2.6 is because the blu-ray players are designed to read that stradegy it is burned as.
