I know Windows has Roxio's Drag-to-Disc (formerly called DirectCD), Nero's
InCD, or Veritas' DLA (Drive Letter Access), all of which use a different
variant of the UDF file system (which means if I started a UDF disc with, for
example, DLA, the other apps are going to access it in "read only" mode).

Last I heard Linux only supported the UDF file system as "read-only" (I can
mount a UDF disc to read but not to write back to). Is there a way to mount
UDF on a "read-write" basis?
