mkisofs: create iso with menus that can be opened with gxine

1veedo · 06-28-2009, 04:52 PM

I have an extracted ISO and I'd like to put the files back into an ISO in such a way that the menus are restored, like the orginal ISO. I am not having any luck with this though, currently the ISO does not play at all (usually gxine can open raw isos and run the menues as if it were put in the dvd drive). I'm only using the -o option.

Hello, please give more info?

What exactly are you trying to do?
what files are you putting in it and what iso?

I have an extracted ISO and basically I'd like to restore it to the original ISO before it was extracted. The files are your standard VOB/BUP files.

edit--

Code:

VTS_01_3.VOB  VTS_01_1.VOB  VTS_01_0.IFO  VIDEO_TS.VOB  VIDEO_TS.BUP
VTS_01_2.VOB  VTS_01_0.VOB  VTS_01_0.BUP  VIDEO_TS.IFO

The error I'm getting from gxine is

Code:

No input plugin was found.
Maybe the file does not exist or cannot be accessed, or there is an error in the URL.

Read error from:
/...

It mounts just fine btw.

I'm not understanding.

What is the difference between the iso before extraction and the iso after extraction?

Are you trying to make a bootable iso image or a data dvd?

It's a music video DVD for morning musume, I think it contains 2 songs and a "making of" segment. When I use mkisofs, gxine isn't able to open and play it. I assume the dvd has menus but even if it doesn't, gxine should be able to play it linearly (I have an ISO like this actually, it goes strait from a music video to a making of video). VTS_01_0.VOB looks like a menu screen though. I can only assume there is some special option you need for the ISO to work properly but I've looked through the man pages and cant find anything.
