I tried to point VLC to an ISO 9660 image file, but libdvdread only complained: $ vlc dvd://foo.iso libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access libdvdnav:DVDOpenFileUDF:UDFFindFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO failed libdvdnav:DVDOpenFileUDF:UDFFindFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP failed libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO. $ file foo.iso foo.iso: # ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'CDROM However, after I extracted the image file to a folder, everything went as expected. (Of course also with an image file containing an UDF file system :-)) [[!tag useless_bits_of_information debugging DVD ISO9660 libdvdread UDF vlc]]
