I haven't tried that option yet. My music library is the only thing that 
has UTF-8 in the file names and I haven't written those files directly 
to DVD-RAM.

They way I've interpreted what I've read is this: UDF has components for 
redundacy built in to it. With DVD-RAM, that's not useful. ext3 is a 
fast file system with very little computational overhead so I can use 
those extra CPU cycles to be a compression nazi.

If you have DVD-RAM and you only need to get the file in Unix, then use 
ext3. Otherwise, UDF is what you want for both CD(+-)RW and DVD(+-)(RW/RAM).

Yes, exactly. But if you want Win32 compatibility you must use UDF.
