 Of course I needed to create some mount point at /mnt/ (as in
 /mnt/dvd) or wherever I want to mount. With data CD/DVD it is easier
 because its just the .iso filename which needs to be given as source
 and the mount point as the target and that's it but for Media DVD's
 have no idea.
 
 They are usually something like this :-
 
 Code: Select all

If these files are on hard disk in dvd.iso

   vlc dvd.iso

should give you what you want.

Dear Scott,
  I can mount .iso filetype dvd's very well. That is NOT the
issue. What I have is that I have downloaded dvd video files and I
want to use that as a virtual drive (like Daemon tools or others do
for windows ).

This are the contents of the video DVD :-

/VIDEO_TS$ ls

From the contents it seems it is not encrypted.

My question is simply this -

Let's say the movie is my_super_movie which has a folder VIDEO_TS
which is in Downloads :-

So if I do :-

$ sudo mount -o loop ~/Downloads/my_super_movie/VIDEO_TS/* /mnt/dvd

and then do :-

$ vlc   dvd:///mnt/dvd

Is this good enough or need something more. ?

Btw my /etc/sudoers does have my user as access after giving the root password.

Looking forward for clarity .

So what you need is to rip/transcoding (or use a dvd backup utility) a 
DVD and then play it from the hard disk :-)

The key point if to know if the DVD is protected or not. 

If it's not protected just copy/paste the files into a folder and point 
VideoLAN to it. 

If it's protected and depending on the type of security it uses, you will 
have to use a program which can deal with libdvdcss. I think that VLC 
itself provides such option.

 Looking forward for answers and tips.

Along with the other answers posted you can use mplayer like this:

  mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /srv/videos/disk_image_directory

Can also play the menus from it using the dvdnav: with a lot of
slashes like this:

  mplayer dvdnav:srv/videos/disk_image_directory

And of course if you can play it then you can use dumpstream to
extract the video to a file.

Also you can play the .vob files directly.  Let's assume that track
four contains the main video stream:

  mplayer /srv/videos/dvd_image_directory/VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_*.VOB

Also it seems that vlc is perfectly happy with the directory but for
me I have found that I need to ensure that there is a trailing slash
on the end.  This may be causing some confusion when trying to use it
to play a directory.

Does not work:
  vlc /srv/videos/dvd_image_directory

Works with a trailing slash:
  vlc /srv/videos/dvd_image_directory/

Bob

I'm not understanding why = VLC = Open Directory... is not doing
that for you already. If you've already tried that and it failed -
please try it again using the cli (see further down this post for
example) and post the output.

In KDE with Dolphin - right-click on the directory, choose Other...
from the Open with... drop-down, select VLC from the list (beneath
Multimedia), select Remember application association for this type of
file = OK.
(The above is best done with the hot keys)
From then on it'll be the first option in the Open with right-click
sub-menu. (hot key is V)

No worries - just substitute sudo for su

how to mount a Video DVD when it is on hard drive. ?

2012-01-21 Thread shirish शिरीष
Hi all,
 Please CC me if replying to this query. I know how to mount data
DVD's in Debian but I don't know how to mount Media DVD's so they look
like a DVD drive and can be played . An e.g. of data DVD :-

Code: Select all
$$ sudo mount -o loop debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso /mnt/dvd
mount: warning: /mnt/dvd seems to be mounted read-only.

/mnt/dvd$ ls
autorun.inf  dists g2ldr  install.amd  pics
README.mirrors.html  README.txt  win32-loader.ini
css  doc  g2ldr.mbr  isolinux pool README.mirrors.txt   setup.exe
debian firmware  install md5sum.txt README.html  README.source tools

Of course I needed to create some mount point at /mnt/ (as in
/mnt/dvd) or wherever I want to mount. With data CD/DVD it is easier
because its just the .iso filename which needs to be given as source
and the mount point as the target and that's it but for Media DVD's
have no idea.

They are usually something like this :-

Code: Select all
/VIDEO_TS$ ls
VIDEO_TS.BUP  VTS_01_1.VOB  VTS_03_0.IFO  VTS_05_0.BUP
VTS_06_1.VOB  VTS_08_0.IFO  VTS_10_0.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO  VTS_02_0.BUP
VTS_03_1.VOB  VTS_05_0.IFO  VTS_07_0.BUP  VTS_08_1.VOB  VTS_10_0.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB  VTS_02_0.IFO  VTS_04_0.BUP  VTS_05_1.VOB  VTS_07_0.IFO
VTS_09_0.BUP  VTS_10_1.VOB  VTS_01_0.BUP  VTS_02_1.VOB  VTS_04_0.IFO
VTS_06_0.BUP  VTS_07_1.VOB  VTS_09_0.IFO  VTS_01_0.IFO  VTS_03_0.BUP
VTS_04_1.VOB  VTS_06_0.IFO  VTS_08_0.BUP  VTS_09_1.VOB

They are probably chapters or something similar. Any ideas as to how
mount it and see it in VLC automatically (one chapter after another or
joined by VLC behind the scenes so one sees the whole thing as one
linear thing) would be nice.

Looking forward for answers and tips.

p.s. - did see the manpage, the wikipedia entry for the mount command
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_(Unix) and did try searching
google fu but no luck.
