<h1 class="topictitle1">Optical media formats</h1>
<div><p>i5/OS™ provides
support for several optical media types and media formats.</p>
<p> The media format is the file system architecture that exists on the media
to manage file, directory, and volume information.</p>
<p>Writable optical media (such as WORM, erasable, DVD-RAM) is initialized
on i5/OS using
the Initialize Optical (INZOPT) CL command. WORM media must use media format
HPOFS. DVD-RAM media must use media format UDF. Erasable media may use either
high performance optical filing system (HPOFS) or universal disk format (UDF)
depending on the requirements of the user. You can specify the format by using
the MEDFMT keyword on the INZOPT command. The following topic provide information
about the different media formats and a comparison so users of erasable media
can select the media format that best meets their requirements.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam4iso9660.htm">ISO 9660</a></strong><br />
This industry standard media format was originally designed to specify the volume and file structures of compact-disk read-only memory (CD-ROM) optical disks, and is a read-only media format.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam4highperfofs.htm">High Performance Optical File System</a></strong><br />
High performance optical file system (HPOFS) is an IBM-developed
media format architecture available to use when initializing optical media
on the i5/OS.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam4universaldiskformat.htm">Universal disk format</a></strong><br />
UDF (Universal Disk Format) is the OSTA (Optical Storage Technology Association) supported subset of ISO/IEC 13346.</li>
