Converting iso files.

Hard to explain this. I have two iso files. I run:

$ file dvd1.iso
dvd1.iso: UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) 'NAME

while when i run this:

$file dvd2.iso
dvd2.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data UDF filesystem data (unknown version, id 'NSR0

dvd1 can be played, but dvd2 cannot. Any idea how I can convert dvd2 to the same type as dvd1?

Re: Converting iso files.

I tried mounting dvd1 to /mnt/iso with

# mount dvd1.iso /mnt/iso -t iso9660 -o loop

which mounts it fine. Now I have audio_ts and video_ts in my /mnt/iso.

I execute

xine dvd:///mnt/iso/video_ts

and it starts playing fine.

The same procedure does however not work for dvd2.iso which has the type "ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data UDF filesystem data (unknown version, id 'NSR0"

Thanks for replying.

Re: Converting iso files.

Oh..and this is the error I get when trying to play dvd2.iso with xine:

This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5.

It's all there. What can be wrong?

When I run "mplayer /mnt/iso/VIDEO_TS/*" it starts playing oddly enough. But I want to use xine as it has better support for lirc/dvd-navigation. And I guess it should be possible somehow since the other iso's work with xine!:)

Re: Converting iso files.

If it is a usual dvd mount it using:

$ mount dvd.iso -t udf -o loop

If it's some audio or video DVD or just refuses to mount install cdemu from aur and there you go

P.S.
Here's the FAQ and how to use of cdemu

Re: Converting iso files.

Thanks for your tip!

But it does mount fine, it just refuses to play with xine. I'm trying to convert it to .daa with poweriso now, and then i'll try to convert it back to iso and see if that creates a udf dvd like my other iso-files. Maybe that'll help. If it doesn't, I'll look into cdemum although it looked kinda complicated:)

Re: Converting iso files.

I have solved this issue by mounting the .iso and rebuilding it with mkisofs.

something like mkisofs -r -udf /mnt/iso -o new_working.iso
