Playing ISO images of DVD-Video discs

[geo650]

Dear fellows!

All BD-players can natively play DVD-Video discs with built-in player. I want my BD-player (rooted BD-D6900) to play DVD ISO images.
First, I thought it will be quite simple to mount ISO file in /mnt/cdrom directory and use built-in player to play that virtual DVD Video. Like this:

Code: Select all

mount -o loop /dtv/usb/sda1/image.iso /mnt/cdrom

But there is a problem. It's not working. EDIT: i.e. mounts but does not recognise ISO as a Disc.


Some time ago I was playing with blu-ray movies with rooted BD-D6900 and found that BD image is mounted in /mnt/cdrom directory from where it can be dumped using simple command like:

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dtv/usb/sda1/dump.img

Than I tried the same thing with DVD-Video disc and found that it is not visible in /mnt/cdrom although it is somehow seen by the BD player's system:

cat /proc/kmsg
...
<5>UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
<6>UDF-fs INFO UDF: Mounting volume 'DVD_LABEL_HERE', timestamp 2001/10/03 02:56 (1000)

I can't find any files (VOBs, IFOs etc.) in the BD player's filesystem:

ls -la /mnt/cdrom
drwxr-xr-x 2 root 0 3 Dec 12 2010 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root 0 76 Dec 29 2010 ..

Only DVD-ROMs and BD's are visible but not DVD Videos.

Have you any idea how to mount DVD-Video ISO files and play them?


P.S. For people who are waiting to answer their PM's: please wait, I am awaking slowly

you need to pass the correct filesystem to mount command too maybe (-t <whatever>).
the kernel modules "should be" in extensions pack...

but dunno about de-css stuff..

CSS is not the problem, because I want to play ISO images which are going to be already decrypted.

The problem is not with mounting DVD ISO image in /mnt/cdrom. It works well and all the files are visible after mounting (with -t ufs option for instance), with of without inserted other DVD disc. But even then, the BD player plays inserted DVD Volume instead of my ISO image. So I think, DVD Video VOBs are not mounted in /mnt/cdrom.
How to fool BD player then?
