Title: Which CD filesystem is the best to use these days?
Post by: amiwalker on December 26, 2007, 01:24:37 PM

Just looking to see what cd filesystem everyone is using and what makes it right for them.

I need to be able to read regular audio discs (CDDA) and also be able to burn discs using 'burnit' s/w.

I have the file system that came with my os3.9
I also have AsimCDFS v3.
Also any available on Aminet.

I think that I'm using AmiCDFS and I think it's the freebee from Aminet.  I have been unable to see long file names with it, maybe my configuration is poor.

I would really like to see the long filenames on CDs.

I have AsimCDFS 3.9 and have seen what I think are illegal copies of version 3.10 being sold on eBay often.  I am not sure about long file names, but have never noticed truncated names with my version.

I think AmiCDFS is included with OS3.9.

I'm using the CacheCDFS that is included with AmigaOS 3.9.  No issues with filenames, DVD-ROMs, etc.

I think the best one would be AllegroCDFS because it has UDF support (can read DVDs without ISO9660).

No filesystem can read my Blu-Ray discs though :)

Personally I just use CacheCDFS from IDEfix97.

First of all, how many are there?
ASIM/Allegro/Ami/Cache/???/GNU??/CDFS or what?
What are the differences?

I think that most of these are commercial products, Asim, Allegro, etc.  AmiCDFS is on Aminet and I think it's freeware.  

I'm gonna try CacheCDFS sinse it's included with OS 3.5/3.9

I been using CacheCDFS from OS 3.9 and have no probs. Burn cd full of apps on my pc read/install/copy on my Amiga only once i had a prob and that was because i burnit at a fast speed 32x, but if i stick to 10-12x i have no probs.

I have used AsimCDFS3.9 and CacheCDFS from OS 3.9. Both are pretty solid. But I just like using CacheCDFS because it came with the OS and I think it's newer code.

I still use Asimware's ASIMcdfs.  I have 1.1, 3.8 and a real 3.10. Obviously I've been using it a long time - it seems bulletproof.
