Overview

SAI is the original and leading supplier of UDF software developer toolkits for CE, IT and other commercial applications. For over 12 years leading OEM and systems integrators have utilized SAI's UDF technology to rapidly implement reliable and compliant UDF based products.

"UDF"stands for "Universal Disk Format" which is a specification based on two international standards (ISO 13346 and Ecma 167). The UDF implementation specifications are published by the Optical Storage Technology Association ("OSTA". For more information on UDF please see: www.osta.org).

We offer one standard software developer toolkit for use on Mac OS10.5.

The UDF Application Level Toolkit for Mac OSX provides the developer with a more open and robust method of reading/writing/formatting media from your application than can be obtained from the native Mac OS UDF service.

Application Level Toolkit Overview

The UDF "Application Level " Toolkit is designed to provide developers experienced in file systems to have complete control over file system operations where performance or writing methods need to be customized for the application. With over 125 API calls to the file system, developers can optimize the file system for their specific application and target system. This Toolkit has been in commercial use since 1997.

The Toolkit consists of the read/write UDF file system, the formatting module, sample code, documentation and a development license.

The Toolkit software is written in C++ with a plain C "wrapper". The file system supports all published UDF versions, including 1.02, 1.5, 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.5 and 2.6 for a wide variety of storage devices.  The file system supports packet writing, session writing and direct block writing methods, depending on the media type and the UDF version selected.

The Application Level Toolkit supports DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, MO, UDO-1, UDO-2, BD-R, BD-RE and a variety of block addressable devices, including most hard disk drives and USB flash memory devices.

OSTA Compliant

The UDF format created by the software is 100% OSTA UDF compliant, which ensures readability on any OSTA UDF compliant system. ( "OSTA " stands for the Optical Storage Technology Association, the organization that publishes and maintains the UDF specification.)
