WARNING: these instructions will only work on Authentic Debian
(Linux/BSD/HURD). Fire and/or serious injury may result from using them
on non-Debian, or Debian based systems.
# <= means run as root (use sudo if that's how you've configured your
system)
$ <= means run as a user
test iso
$ file SomeDVD.iso
UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) 'DVDVIDEO
1. Work out where your DVD player is
# cat /etc/fstab | grep cdrom
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
2. Mount your iso file there[*1]
# mount -o loop -t iso9660 /SomeDVD.iso /media/cdrom0
3. Play it with VLC
$ vlc dvd:///media/cdrom0
NOTES: if using GUI VLC looks at /dev/dvd by default when you select
"Media" => "Open Disk". Just select "/media/cdrom0"
We're assuming this disk is not copy protected.
Cheers
