Has anybody successfully made use of this ROTJ AVCHD.ISO file in Ubuntu or linux of some kind?

Every iso mounting program I've tried so far either doesn't agree with the file or shows nothing inside. 

The file is 7.9 GB so I'm pretty sure its ready to go. 

Just can't seem to make any use of it (mind you, I'm not even trying to burn it to a disc, just would be happy playing it on the computer at least for now)

This always works for me:

Then you probably have the file path wrong. Double check, remember to put the path between quotes if it contains spaces or simply cd to the actual directory to make it a bit simpler.

hmm, ok the quotes seemed to work (thanks), but now i get this:

wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,

       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

       dmesg | tail  or so

i'm sorry for hi-jacking the thread with this stuff

Does your OS support the UDF 2.50 filesystem? You will probably need that.

not sure, i'll look into that

Double check the path is correct.

To be 100% sure, try using absolute path (starting in the "/" folder) instead of relative path (starting in your home folder).

If this doesn't help, I honestly don't know.

yeah i was using absolute path, so oh well i appreciate you guys at least trying to help me out :)

I am also having some trouble with this one. The ISO does not want to mount using Disk Utilities on the Mac.

I haven't tried with Toast yet but was curious if anyone on the Mac has found a solution that's working for them...

First two burned flawlessly. 

I wrote this a page ago: 

__________________________________________

Ok, so for the mac users that perhaps like me are new to mac and/or slow I simply used the disk utility. I hit the burn icon, located the iso, and burned that straight to disc, a dual layer disc. It plays perfectly in my song bluray player. Starts up automatically etc. No Toast needed even!

_________________________________________

But if you say you did this basically for the first two and it didn't work then I don't know, maybe the downloaded file is corrupt in some way? It worked for me for all 3 anyway. Good luck!

Yeah, like I said first two were perfect. 

Maybe it's a corrupt file. I could try downloading again... though it'll use up another 7gb of bandwidth. 

I got mine from Demonoid where I have lots of bandwidth to spare and the first two were indeed ISOs with MD5s. Jedi however was lacking an MD5 which is what I think might be causing the issues with mounting in Disk Utility for the Mac.

I dont mind grabbing it from MySpleen my concern would only be destroying my ratio with a 7+ gb file. Bandwidth from my ISP isn't an issue, just ratios. Blah.

As for usenet, thats sadly not an option since my ISP doesnt have newsgroup abilities. Double BLAH.

 Neither does mine. But Astraweb are charging only 50 bucks for a full terabyte of usenet downloads. If you can scrounge the money together, that'd be very handy for moments like these and could potentially last you for years if used selectively.

Sorry for the stupid question but does astraweb support non-USA customers ?

Duly noted. PM sent, pittrek.
