I'm disappointed that FreeBSD mount_udf doesn't support this disc.

to those trying:
   the solution is to use udfclient and browse that way.  Alternatively there is 
a refuse package that makes UDFclient into a FS to mount.

Do not be deterred by the complicated first-level directory :

97505d80MS UDFBridge:UDF Volume:GRC1CULXFRER_EN_DVD:GRC1CULXFRER_EN_#503F


Yes, there are spaces in it, you'll want to quote it to access it properly.
