Software Architects, Inc. announced the release of version 1.2 of WriteBD!™ UDF Data Writer for Mac OS 10.5. WriteBD! provides the world's first UDF and HFS+ file system writer for re-writable Blu-ray Disc drives that enables true direct writing to disc. Unlike two-step data writing based on disk mastering technology, WriteBD! provides direct writing, editing and deleting of files and folders to the Blu-ray media through the standard Finder interface just as if they were writing to a hard disk drive.

The software formats, reads and writes to re-writable Blu-ray discs using the standard Mac Finder interface, including drag & drop writing to disc. The user has the option to format in native HFS, or in UDF format for reading and writing on other computer systems.
