System Level Toolkit Overview
The UDF "System Level" Toolkit is designed to quickly and easily
integrate formatting, reading and writing in OSTA compliant UDF
from your proprietary application. Widely used for general and specialized
Windows based application, this is the original UDF developer toolkit that
has been in commercial use since 1997.
The Toolkit consists of an installable UDF file system driver, a formatting
module in .dll format, documentation, sample code, and a development
license.
The Toolkit components support standard Windows 32 API calls.
The 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 installable file system driver will present the device as a drive letter in
Windows Explorer. The formatting .dll is designed for easy integration into
your application, so there is a single interface for all functions designed by
you.
The file system supports packet writing, session writing and direct block writing
methods, depending on the media type and the UDF version selected.
The System 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.
