whoops, i do ! i was going to try this later today - so i don't need to
bother ? anyway - why isn't there a filesystem for video cds ... is there
a reason for this - or do they have iso9660 with a different sectorsize ?!

hmm... i guess i really don't know enough about all of this :-\

guenter (main developer of xine) suggested putting all vcd-specifics into
xine and reading the vcd by using the raw cdrom-device... any thoughts
about this way of doing it ? i guess you'd still need the ioctl calls for
setting the sector-size, which would be os-specific probably...
