Hi!
(please CC me on answers)
During cleanup I found a MtRainier (MRW) formatted CD-RW with an UDF 1.02 filesystem on it.
I tried to read it in aplin CD-ROM unit that has no special MRW support with a recent kernel (Ubuntu 11.04 distro) but it does not work. It sees only a dummy iso9660 volume that has a few readme files informing that special software is needed to read them (It suggests Nero EasyWrite or InCD, for Windows, as it was formatted with a Nero utility).
As I remember from back then, this helper code is patent encumbered and that's why Linux does not have it. Has there been any change about this lately?
Regards, David
