UDF Format DVD

[garywood]

I have a Panasonic DVD recorder. When I put a disk it's made into my computer, it reports the format is UDF.

I have some blank DVDs which the DVD Recorder struggles to format: sometimes they work, but, more often than not, they fail. Once the DVD is formatted, everything works fine.

So, what I'd like to try is formattting the DVDs into the UDF format with the computer so the DVD recorder can burn straight on to them.

Does anyone know if this is possible and what software (free if possible!) I could use?

Thanks,

Gary
