OK, but this is still mountable only from windows....... Is this ISO filesystem hidden somewhere, or what? And that still does not explain errors from xine, and the 8 megs that i actually can read using dd. All after all - even if this disc would contain totally unsupported tracks, with absolutly weird data, kernel should recognize it and report something like: cdrom: there are no tracks on hda i can recognize (or something like that). If the errors do happen, it means kernel thinks he can read the data, and he actually can't, yes? Is here anything I can do to improve support of this disc under linux, or is this just another hell-knows-what thing, the kernel implementation is ok, and this is only some m$-dontated extension that prevents us from accessing this disc? Even if it is, shouldn't it be implemented if it is possible?
