It seems that I am getting a little ahead of myself...
The above was obviously a patch to freevo, but I included it as a
reference point.
It would seem that xine can support: xine vcd://filename.iso, but it
would equally seem that it (at least my version) cannot support
dvd://filename.iso, so perhaps I was getting too excited.
As a warning on the scripts/loopback mounting front, make sure you don't
forget the 2Gig filesize limits on some filesystems.
Ahh well.
Col.
