What is the Difference Between the UDF Versions?
When formatting a DVD with InstantBurn, you can select the UDF
version in which the disc will be formatted. In normal situations, it is
safest to select UDF1.50, which has the highest compatibility.
UDF 1.50 This is the standard that defined “write-once” and
rewritable for packet writing software. It also
includes the substitute sector function added in
version 1.02.
UDF 2.00 This version adds file-attribute support to version
1.50, and is used in the real-time recording format,
DVD-VR (DVD Video Recording format), defined by
the DVD Forum. You cannot create a DVD-VR DVDVideo using InstantBurn.
UDF 2.01 This refined version of UDF version 2.00 is to be used
in DVD Stream Recording (DVD-VR) in the future.
UDF 2.50 This version of UDF adds support for Metadata
Partition facilitating metadata clustering and
optional duplication of file system information.
Windows XP and previous versions of Windows do
not support UDF 2.50 by default.

Uninstalling under Windows 98/Me
• When uninstalling InstantBurn, a message appears to confirm
whether you want to delete the “CDRBSVSD.vxd” shared file. If
you have Power2Go 4.0 or older installed, do not delete this file.
Before Formatting with InstantBurn
InstantBurn is packet-writing software, so it formats discs in UDF
(Universal Disc Format) format. Once you have formatted a disc
using InstantBurn, you cannot use it to record using Power2Go or
other burning software. If you want to give the disc you are creating
to a friend or colleague, do not format the disc with InstantBurn - use
Power2Go instead. If you want to create an audio CD or a DVDVideo disc, use Power2Go or other burning software.
CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, BD-RE, HD DVD-RAM
discs can be erased using Disc Erase Tool.
