Supported media types

CD/DVD types of media written in UDF or ISO are supported. (except for
DVD-RAM)
The ISO and UDF formats
To understand the ISO and UDF formats, you have to understand the
concept of file systems on storage devices.
Since ODDs only support the ISO and UDF file systems, the data needs to be
converted to a file system that the AV system can recognize for the data on
the ODD to be used.
• AV System: Supports the FAT32 file system.
• File System: When an HDD, DVD/CD media or flash memory device
is connected to a computer, Windows Explorer shows the file name,
the size and the creation date for the files saved on the storage
device, by using the information saved on the file system. In addition,
the file system stores the locations of the data that make up the files
on the media.
• ISO: This file system is the most widely used file system for ODDs.
This file system is used when users save data onto a media in the
ODD by using a disc burning program such as NERO or ROXIO.
• UDF: This is a file system for ODD media that enables reading and
writing data onto the media such as when using an HDD or USB
memory device.
For your reference, you can format a RW media in the UDF file
system by right-clicking over the media in Windows Explorer in
Windows VISTA or later.
