mplayer and dvds

Hi all.

I know how one plays a dvd with mplayer. However, if one has an iso
image of a dvd (well, actually a bin image converted to an iso), is
there a way to play that without burning it to a dvd first? Thanks in
advance.

Greg

You could mount it using the loopback device, for example:

mount -t isofs /path/to/isofile.iso /path/to/desired_mountpoint -o loop


To do this, you need the loopback device compiled into your kernel.

Try mounting it.
You'll need to have the udf module loaded or compiled in to your kernel.

And then what, do I still use the dvd://1 syntax with mplayer?

I appreciate all the mount hints, but this makes me realize that maybe
my question should have been more specific.

I already figured that I'd probably need to mount it via loop back
(either that, or maybe mplayer could somehow take the name of the iso
directly, and play the raw image, like a physical dvd). My question
is, once I mount it, (if playing the iso directly won't work), how do
I play what's mounted with mplayer? After all, we're not talking about
a single avi or mpg file here, a dvd has many files on it, with lots
of different extensions.
