I have this new video camera Sony that records on mini DVDs, and I got a video from my daughter dancing for the mother's day, I copied it as an image to the hard disk of my Linux Operating System machine
cat /dev/dvd/ > $HOME/video.iso
But now how to play that iso image from my disk with out using my DVD player?
These are the simple commands needed.
sudo mkdir /media/iso
To create a mount point
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/ggarron/dvd_video.iso /media/iso
To mount the iso as a DVD
sudo aptitude install gxine
To install the player
gxine dvd://media/iso/video_ts/
To play the DVD movie.

VLC works fine. Of course,

Have a look to Gmountiso (for Gnome). Very useful. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/easy-way-of-mountunmount-iso-images-in-ubuntu....

I personally would just use VLC on the iso, but if you're going to mount the iso, your command will not work. There should be a space between the -t and the iso9660 and another between -o and loop. The actual command would look as follows:
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/ggarron/dvd_video.iso /media/iso
