What are the file system of CD and DVD ?

Question

We have NTFS, FAT etc for HDD. So I just want to know what are the file systems of CD and DVD?

Answer 1

Joliet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joliet_(file_system)

Answer 2

ISO9660, of which Joliet, Rock Ridge and El Torito are extensions:

The Rock Ridge extension to ISO 9660 adds support for POSIX file permissions and ownership, symbolic links, and longer file names; the Joliet extension adds support for longer file names and the Unicode character set; and the El Torito extension enables a disc to boot an x86 compatible system.

Answer 3

That would be ISO 9660. Many extensions are used though, the most common being Joliet.

Answer 4

ISO9660 (CDFS) is widely used for CD's and UDF is widely used for DVD's, although both standards are used for both media types.
