So, I'm burning these 3-GByte files to DVD-R now, to mail out west. Burned first disc, and popped it into the WinXP box here just to ensure things are alright, and...

It comes up with an empty root directory on the DVD.
"Properties" shows that XP knows it is a "UDF" filesystem, but it refuses to show the contents.

Again, this works fine on Linux, even on the exact same machine.

Q: Does Vista also suffer this M-bare-ass-ment?
Q: Is there a spyware-free UDF driver available for XP?

Thanks guys.
