OT: Creating a bootable UDF DVD data disc

[JP]

I shall be glad to know how to create a bootable data DVD in UDF format, if
possible. Certain files exceed 3 GB and cannot be split, hence this
exploration.

I have Nero 6.6 Ultra, Nero 7.1 Ultra as well as Roxio 7.1 available, on
different machines, to try out here. They all have boot disk creation as
well as UDF data DVD creation, but not both together! Nero offers mixed
UDF/ISO disk creation but does not have the bootable function here too!

After literally burning a few thousand data disks so far (CD, DVD,UDF and
ISO), I suddenly realized that I did not know how to do a bootable UDF disc!
None of the Help contents on my software covers this either.

I do not even know if such is possible, but then I saw that a file or two on
the Vista Beta DVD is bigger than 2GB!

Regards and thanks for any insight.

You can't.
