So what I did was to put my ISOs and VIDEO_TS files into different
directories than my 'standard' videos, such as:

/MythTV/sdc/isos
/MythTV/sdc/videots

Again, make sure these directories are not included in your Video Storage
Group - you need to set them up And in the Media settings for Videos
(Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> Media Settings -> Videos Settings -> General
Settings)  -- and put the colon-seperated list of directories.
IE: Directories that hold videos: /MythTV/sdc/isos:/MythTV/sdc/videots

Then they should work fine locally on the backend.

If you have remote frontends, you'll have to export the new directories via
NFS, and mount them on the same location on your frontend(s) as the backend.
 Then, providing your network is fast enough, it will work from your remote
frontends as well. ;-)
