Re: Can Bluray Players see ISO9660 Filesystems?
Glad to see a heart beat on this mailing list! After sending, thought this

Specifically focused on 3rd party TV related bluray players (eg. Sony, LG,
Samsung, ...)
I noticed the "-udf" option for mkisofs (and applicable for growisofs) creating
a bridged or hybrid type filesystem. (mkisofs notes, wastes space ... when
using "-udf" option, look like minimal space though.) So this should create a
readable BD-R media for TV bluray players, but not necessarily playable due to
a missing directory structure/file?
My best guess is recent TV bluray players should likely have no problem reading
any UDF filesystem disc, although I would be more satisified to see most recent
players able to read an ISO9660 disc.
I would expect recent TV players should read both filesystems, as people do
tend to backup photos, video and audio to DVDR/BDR media; and likely not going
to waste time with editing structure files. They just need some form of
shareable media, but think the usb flash media has locked-up the market on this
for now except for being reliable/stable media.

Yup, after two days, finally found my boxed-up DVD+RW & BD-RE media.
Making this a little more difficult, the Linux pktcdvd driver is slated as
deprecated/removal, albeit oddly since 2016 and still is within the kernel.
Hopefully I don't have to waste money on a TV bluray player for checking on
this filesystem readability issue. Another option for testing is if there were
TV bluray player firmware booting via emulation software.
