That I think is just a program that has been put on the CD to check for
the presence of the udfreader program. You can find the program itself
at Roxio's site
http://www.roxio.com/en/support/ecdc/software_updatesv4.jhtml
and right at the bottom of the page - UDF Volume reader
and may need to install it on the machine concerned in advance
