VCD in an iso
Ok, so I have an iso image of a VCD. Is there any way to access the data inside without actually burning it to a CD and plugging it into the drive? I tried to loop mount the iso, but AFAIK a VCD doesn't have a filesystem on it, so it refuses to mount, like an audio CD. I also tried to play it in mplayer and use the -cdrom-device option to point it to the iso, but mplayer expects a block device like /dev/cdrom there, not a file. Is there any way I can simulate that the .iso is physically inserted into /dev/cdrom or something? Or do I just burn the thing on a CD and rip it the old-fashioned way? I mean, burning some data off a hard disk onto a CD just so that I could plug it in and copy the data back on the hard disk seems... well... clumsy? If there is a way to mount the damn thing somehow, I'm listening.

Yum doesn't seem to find anything by that name, [vma...@yoda ~]$ yum search gmount [vma...@yoda ~]$ yum search Gmount [vma...@yoda ~]$ yum whatprovides */gmount [vma...@yoda ~]$ yum whatprovides */Gmount all produce "No Matches found".
