	Hi,

	Once happened that I got DVD disc with ISO9660 filesystem, not
	UDF. Then I tried to rip it with dvd::rip. It started tcprobe
	utility from transcode package ( tcprobe -H 10 -i /dev/dvd ).
	tcprobe calls DVDOpen (that opens ISO image), then ifoOpen which
	fails as the image is in ISO format, not UDF. Similarly fails 
	xine. Looking in libdvdread sources discovers that only UDF
	format is supported, not ISO. I don't have hardware DVD player,
	but evidences could be found on the Web that HW-players often
	support both UDF and ISO DVDs equally well.

	For some reason (I could not remember exactly now), mounting
	this CD and running tcprobe -i /cdrom did not help either.

	So I would like to know if there are plans or hope to integrate 
	ISO9660 support in libdvdread ? This would greatly extend its
	applicability and usefulness.

	Thank you in advance for your reply (preferably with cc: to 
	my personal email).
