Well, while on the subject, I'd like to know about mounting video CDs
and DVDs.  I keep seeing references to doing this, and then "reading"
the .VOB files directly, but can one do this under FreeBSD?  

Also, there are some CD-Rs which I could mount on linux or windows but
can't on FreeBSD; I think it's because they're multisession CDs which
don't start on sector zero, but I'm not sure.  I can mount one of them
if I use "mount_cd9660 -s 0" (force the starting sector to be zero)
but then not all the data is visible, and some of it is visible with
"ls" but not readable.   

And what about "multimedia audio CDs" (or whatever they're called)?  I
have two, which have audio tracks and, allegedly, multimedia (video)
tracks too.  From what I understand, they include an ISO-9660
filesystem and one should be able to use them on windows/mac machines
like normal CD-ROMs, but I haven't succeeded under FreeBSD.  The audio
plays fine.
