Hi.

I don't have a Bluray on the PC. Does it use a different file system for the discs?

Let remember that for a DVD to read on eCS we require the UDF driver installed. Will the bluray will require something similar?

lmotaku:
All bluray media seems to be using UDF 2.5
BD-RE v2, BD-R and Rom is 1.0?

This is not entirely correct. CD, and DVD (and possibly BlueRay) can use one of UDF or CDFS as a file system. There is also a hybrid that combines both. I think there is a way to get DVDDAO to write UDF format (possibly a hybrid), but I never tried it. Normally, it write CDFS format.  BlueRay should use UDF format for most things (like movies).

You can read about the UDF capabilities in eCS 2.1. The doc is in C:\OS2\BOOK\UDF.TXT.
