playing dvdshrinked iso on linux

[Edoardo]

Hi
using dvdshrink on windows I made a backup copy of a dvd, in the form of an iso image.

but I can't play the iso image directly, which I am able to do in windows.
the vlc player screen stays black. here is a console output :

edoardo@edoubuntu:~$ wxvlc --dvd /mnt/hda1/temp/THE_DISC.ISO

Do other .iso's work in linux and just DVD Shink has problems?

If not this may be a linux/VLC issue, which would probably be better addressed in the linux forum. If you don't know then try a full .iso rip of the original DVD with DVD Decrypter and see if that works. If it doesn't then you can eliminate DVD Shrink as the problem.

after a full apt-get update of packages,
I spent some time comparing two new ISOs - a DVDDecrypter one and a DVDShrink one, created from the first one ... both seem to work fine !!

I am guessing the problem was with the old ISO created directly from the disc with dvd shrink ?

anyway, thanks for the suggestions !

Edoardo: Remember that under linux you can easily mount DVD ISO images and play them back as if they are on your hard drive, i.e.: # mount -o loop -t udf /mnt/hda1/temp/THE_DISC.ISO /mnt/dvd_image
$ wxvlc --dvd /mnt/dvd_image hth,
