[mythtv-users] Playing complete DVDs from disk?

I got this to work with both Xine and Mplayer using ISO images of my
dvds.  With Mplayer I mount the ISO using a loopback device, and then
play it using the command mentioned in the first response.  Xine
supports ISO files directly with the following command:

xine dvd://filename.iso/

It is possible to get MythVideo to play backups, but not MythDVD. 
Just make the backups using iso files and create a new extension in
MythVideo setup.  Then for the command to play the iso files, use the
one above or make a script to do it.
