Are you using UDF 2.5?

[hacked2123]

Just wondering before I make up the guide BackupBluRay's solely on the PS3,

How many of you have installed UDF2.5 support successfully so far?
Are you looking forward to the guide above?
Just post once Please

I have installed UDF 2.5 support just fine
I don't want to write the guide because I don't have a new hard-drive yet (Will be doing it though) (Will have to wait longer cause I won't have a PS3 with me this weekend)

hacked, I've got UDF 2.5 running ok on my system. I am looking forward to any guide you can put together. Keep up the great work.

Finally got udf2.5 working. Thanks, hacked2123. No it will not support writing to ntfs external. I haven't heard anyone able to write to ntfs external hard drive yet. I've tried to install ntfs-3g, but unable to get it to work.

Same here, worked perfect but no NTFS write support. But no biggie, just using ext2 and the windows ext mounter, works fine.

Also if anyone is having problem ripping HD-DVD movies, recompile the java source but correct the lowercase paths at the top of the source. Not a problem if your ripping from windows though, only case sensitive os's.

udf 2.5 is not a file system. what it does is allow linux to read a blu-ray disk and ntfs formatted drive. now if you boot linux and try to access a blu-ray itll say dvd cant be mounted. after you update linux kernal to 2.5 it will show you the files on the disk. they are encripted files but you can see them with udf 2.5.

i believe hacked2123 is working on a way to rip and decript blu-ray movies right on your ps3. also will be able to do hd-dvd if you buy a hd-dvd usb drive like the one for a xbox 360. hope this helps ya.

I would call it a file system. I am working on it, it will be released as BackupBluRayV051, (as I believe it is a crucial step in the program and Mulix64 is no longer working with the project (v1 I say should have a gui).

I have not tried the HD-DVD Drive (Couldn't burrow one); but I gave been told these:

The firmware on the HD-DVD is updated every (I think it was) 3 months
M-$oft doesn't keep a warehouse of these units and each store will carry around 2-3 at a time
The firmware being used now has the PS3 blacklisted from use
- I (hacked2123) suspect an old model would just fine, but not tested% .NEA
BTW thanks for answering

Well that explains it, dayuuum.

the reason i havent tried it yet.. is im wondering if its useful to use on a 20gb sytem..

most of the movies are pretty large and dont even fit on the partitioned drive...

that is why sak was so useful since it made an iso of the bluray disc and stored it using network share

[pclausen]

I replaced my 20G with a 120G last night and then partitioned the drive so that 10G was allocated to "Other OS". Should I have done it the other way around?

I then installed YDL onto the 10G partition. I plan to install UDF 2.5 support tonight.

My hope is to be able to backup my Blu-ray titles directly onto a NTFS share on one of my other computers on my LAN. Will that be possible?

I then plan on using one of the Windows tools to decrypt the movies so that I can play them back from my HTPC. I'm already doing that with my HD-DVD titles and it works well.

In other words, I'm looking to use my PS3 as an "external Blu-ray drive" of sorts for my windows machine and transfer the data over an Ethernet connection without first storing it on the PS3 hard drive (won't fit on the 10G partition). Is that possible?
