Is there a file system for DVD?

Hi,

There is a file system FILE_DEVICE_CD_ROM_FILE_SYSTEM for CD-Rom volume. Does there exist a file system for DVD-Rom volume?

Thanks!

UDFS may also be present on a DVD, but it is still a CD_ROM file system.
The OS makes no distinction between CDs and DVDs and while I have not
confirmed it, I suspect the same will be true for HD and BluRay…

DVD-ROMs are either CDFS or UDF, usually UDF.

Many DVDs are also formatted as “UDF Bridge” (containing both UDF and CDFS tables)
