What is the Difference
Between the UDF Versions?
When formatting a DVD with InstantBurn, you can select the UDF
version in which the disc will be formatted. In normal situations, it is
safest to select UDF1.50, which has the highest compatibility.
UDF 1.50 This is the standard that defined “write-once” and
rewritable for packet writing software. It also
includes the substitute sector function added in
version 1.02.
UDF 2.00 This version adds file-attribute support to version
1.50, and is used in the real-time recording format,
DVD-VR (DVD Video Recording format), defined by
the DVD Forum. You cannot create a DVD-VR DVD-
Video using InstantBurn.
UDF 2.01 This refined version of UDF version 2.00 is to be used
in DVD Stream Recording (DVD-VR) in the future.
UDF 2.50 This version of UDF adds support for Metadata
Partition facilitating metadata clustering and
optional duplication of file system information.
Windows XP and previous versions of Windows do
not support UDF 2.50 by default.
