How to open UDF Volume

rated 0 times [ 16] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 48476 / 1 Year ago, mon, january 2, 2023, 3:55:59

I have a DVD which I can open in Windows, but in my Ubuntu 12.04 installation I cannot any more. I receive this error:

Unable to mount UDF Volume



Error mounting: mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,

       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

       dmesg | tail  or so

What should I do to open it? Do I need to install anything?

Open the terminal and try mounting the DVD with:

sudo mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /cdrom

The argument following the -t is used to indicate the filesystem type, which in this case is udf. UDF or Universal Disk Format is an operating-system-independent file system commonly used on DVD and other digital media.¹
