You need to create a script that mounts the iso and launches xine. 
Such a thing would be a good thing to add to contrib I guess.

You can rip multiple titles from the same DVD at once...  Just pick

That's why I asked if you'd used MythVideo.  If you hit "MENU" in the
video manager there's an option for IMDB lookup that will pull down
the movie poster/cover art and metadata for your videos.
