Simple .iso question

Jmcatch742 · 05-22-2005, 07:04 PM

Hey guys,

I just downloaded this video clip from bittorent (Azureus) and it is in .iso form. How do I make it into a video playable form? It is like videoclip.iso.

All help is appreciated

if it is in fact an ISO, you can burn it to a CD or you can mount it:

Code:

mount -o loop -t iso9660 videoclip.iso /mnt/somewhere

once it's mounted you can see the contents:

Code:

ls /mnt/somewhere

but make sure it's really an ISO file first:

Code:

file videoclip.iso

just my two cents...

You don't.

You mount the iso with the -o loop option
(man mount for details) and play the video.

Or you burn a CD and watch it from there.
