The advice was misleading, as they are not something you can interchange
nor even compare. Indeed, Restricted Overwrite is a DVD-RW recording
strategy and UDF is a logical file system layout. Neither really imply
another. In other words you can perfectly lay down any file system on a
DVD-RW disc formatted for Restricted Overwrite, as well as you can
perfectly lay down an UDF volume on any other media. The only connection
between Restricted Overwrite and UDF is that the *if* you want to deploy
read-write(!) UDF with DVD-RW(!), Restricted Overwrite is the only
recording strategy that provides [rather has potential to provide] for
this.

This question can't possibly have any relation to the above one and
therefore I'm not going to answer it [as it falls "beyond" my field of
expertise]. I would strongly recommend to post unrelated questions as
*separate* posts, so that they're threaded separately and can be
searched separately:-) A.
