[solved] Tools for producing, burning and veryfing UDF BDs

Hi all,

I am currently trying to move the production of my BDs over from Windows 7 to arch. Usually I edit / store all my HD-related videos and burn them to a pure UDF-based BD25. After verification of the burned media I delete the local files. All this is easily possible under Windows by simply using ImgBurn (in essence DVDDecrypter without decryption module). Under arch things seem to be pretty limited when it comes to generating UDF-based ISOs for later burning.

K3B can generate and burn more recent UDF standard discs but fails to add files bigger than 4GB.
mkisofs can generate udf dissk when using the parameters -udf -allow-limited-size but I am not shure about the compatibility with other operating systems (e.g. when I take my external BD drive to a friend in order to watch a HD video with him).

Using udftools plus a loop back image as described here sound also quite cumbersome to me:

Aren't there other possibilities ? I am really close to wrap ImgBurn via WINE and it's CLI.

TIA,
D$

Update: OK, I have found multiple options

1) One can simply use ImgTool running unter Wine although automisation via script is a bit cumbersome as I experienced double path inside the GUI when being called via bash / WINE.

2) mkdufiso seems to be capable as well of generating UDF > V2.5 (which is critical for producing BDs which run in a BD SAP as it seems).

3) Simply use mkisofs with the parameters -udf and -allow-limited-size produces a perfectly playable BD which I can open under Linux and Windows 7 as well.

mkisofs simply produces UDF in Version 2.0 which is fine for me since my main aim is to store my video collection additionally to my HTPC.

As for the verification I am including a sha1 checksum file of all MKV burned to the disk as well. So I can easily verify the integrity of the BD content after burning by simply calling "sha1sum * && cat sha1sums.txt" inside the directory where the BD is mounted.
