I was tearing my hair out this weekend with yet another compatibility problem. Basically I was trying to use a DVD+RW formated in a packet incremental format to transfer some files back and forth (Vista supports Packet Incremental Format out of the box). Although Vista would read the disks formatted on the XP machine, it wouldn't write them (and I discovered vice versa as well). The disks were formatted in UDF (that means "Unified Disk Format" - the 'unified' bit should mean 'all the same'). It transpires that the *Unified* Disk Format that Vista uses is different to the UDF format that all other disc utilities use even though they are identified with the same version number.

Unified. Universal. It still means that they should be the same. They clearly are not.
