[FFmpeg-user] Reading directly from .iso DVD image

[Etienne Desautels]

Hi,

What's the current status of the support of .iso DVD image as input in ffmpeg and ffprobe?

I'm asking because I was with the impression that FFmpeg wasn't able to read directly .iso files without mounting them before, but I accidentally tried and that looks to work flawlessly?

I'm using a not so old version:
