You cannot mount them, but you can read the raw video track(s)
with tosha (tosha is in the "audio" ports collection), provided
that you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive.
You can pipe the video data directly into an appropriate MPEG
player, for example MpegTV (see www.mpegtv.com). Basically it
works like this: tosha -t 2 -0 - | mtvp /dev/stdin
Works perfectly fine for me. :)
Regards
Oliver
PS: Please refer to tosha's manpage for more information.
