The UDF and CDFS file formats are used to burn CDs and DVDs. The UDF format allows you to modify data, while the CDFS format allows you to play discs on CD/DVD players. If you want to convert the data on a UDF disc into the CDFS format, you must first copy the contents to your hard drive and then use the disc-burning utility in Windows Explorer to perform the conversion to a new disc.
