Mount a directory as a CD/DVD drive??
Is it possible to mount (or whatever) a directory and make Linux think it's a CD/DVD drive?
Like: /DVD_BACKUP/Cars/AUDIO_TS /DVD_BACKUP/Cars/VIDEO_TS mount /DVD_BACKUP/Cars /media/cdrom And fool Linux to think that /media/cdrom is actually the Cars DVD? Oh, and I can't use loop. |

First, you do not mount directories. Mount refers to attaching a device to the filesystem so that it can be used to read/write. Second, Linux cannot be fooled. It will outsmart you every time. Please give us the real problem......e.g. do you want to know how to mount a CD or DVD? |
I think he's trying to run some movies he copied from DVDs' just as you play from a DVD, with all the menu and stuff. Sorry thomas not possible(AFAIK).

Better to make an ISO of the DVD. AFIK, simply running 'cp' for a backup is not sufficient. Try:
Code:
dd if=/dev/dvd of=backup.iso Code:
cat /dev/dvd > backup.iso Code:
mplayer -dvd-device backup.iso dvd:// |
It's not a homework assignment :rolleyes:
It's for my HDD recorder which run Linux. I can use loopdevice to mount an iso but then I won't have the menus. (I can just playback the vobs.) I guess I need to replace the device driver with a CD emulator of some sort... :scratch: |
