   6 Apparently libdvdread only works with UDF file systems. I tried to point
   7 VLC to an ISO 9660 image file, but libdvdread only complained:
   8
   9     $ vlc dvd://foo.iso
  10     libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access
  11     libdvdnav:DVDOpenFileUDF:UDFFindFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO failed
  12     libdvdnav:DVDOpenFileUDF:UDFFindFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP failed
  13     libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
  14     $ file foo.iso
  15     foo.iso: # ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'CDROM
  16
  17 However, after I extracted the image file to a folder, everything went
  18 as expected. (Of course also with an image file containing an UDF file
  19 system :-))
