Convert ISO to UDF

Understanding ISO and UDF file formats

ISO is a widely used disk image format that contains an exact copy of a file system, typically used for distributing software and media. It is a sector-by-sector copy of the data on an optical disc, such as a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc.

UDF (Universal Disk Format) is a file system format used for optical media, such as DVDs and Blu-ray discs. It is designed to replace the older ISO 9660 standard and supports larger file sizes and more complex file structures.

Converting ISO to UDF

Converting an ISO file to a UDF file involves extracting the contents of the ISO image and then creating a new UDF file system with those contents. This process is useful when you need to use the data on a device that requires the UDF format.
