Here is the table of contents mounted three ways. First udf, then
iso9660, then iso9660 nojoliet. Only the udf version works with the
application. Note that the huge udf filesizes are not a mistake -
this DVD is also offered as 7 CD set.

As this is one clear example of differing iso9660 and udf views
of the same disc, I propose to change mount(8) and fstab(5) to warn the
two can be different (either intentionally, accidentally, or because
of iso9660 limitations).
I also propose to change "mount -t auto" to try udf first, and fall back to
iso9660. This, of course, requires more discussion first. But based
on serching other lists, reading the udf "iso9660 bridge" spec,
and email conversations, it seems to be the right long term answer.
Since udf is used on CD's, I propose that udf be tried first for
all meda, not just DVD's.
The kernel, of course, remains unchanged, and because you're using Linux,
you would still be able force mount anything you want.
