Indianblues · 05-26-2008, 07:01 AM

Hi,
I am very new to linux and i am using fedora 8. Recently i downloaded some video files which were in .iso format. My problem is "How to play(autoplay) the files in .iso format". In windows i am playing those files using CloneCd, in CloneCd those videos are autoplaying. Please anyone solve my problem.

Let's suppose your video is named video.iso

mkdir /tmp/video
su -c "mount -o loop -t iso9660 video.iso /tmp/video"
nautilus /tmp/video

I know mplayer does that! If you know your video is just mpeg4 type avi, you can just teype:

Code:

mplayer video.iso

to play your file. If you know that your iso file is a dvd-video image file, you would teype then:

Code:

mplayer dvd://1 video.iso

you can usually omit the -t iso9660 unless it complains about not being able to detect the filesystem.

Alternatively you can use CDEmu (I think it's a taskbar applet) that lets you mount iso's without using the command line.

But, of course if mplayer does that that would be the most convenient option.
