Is this about what you're looking for?
| Code: | | mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/wherever/ |
You probably need loop block device in your kernel. |

The daemon tools (win) emulates copy protections. As far as I know, there exists no linux kernel module for this kind of job.

well, there is a kernel module to do this job. 
name was virtualcd before a german company wrote to the author in case of patent infringement. It's now temporarily named CDemu by Robert Penz.
Be carefull with video and super video cd's. Your computer may freeze if you like to load a (s)vcd bin file. You could play them directly with mplayer.
I'm on a kde applet to control the module. I would be pleased if somebody could help me, cause I never coded a kicker applet before ... 
so long

-leliel-: There is nowhere mentioned that CDEmu deals with copy protections!?

There is no reason to believe that anything can emulate copy-protection... Unless it has some sort of badsector list.
I don't think any kernel contributor/programmer will want to program a copy protection emulator into the kernel... Or would they, under the guise of a 'badsector emulator'?
Also,

Q: I've noticed your "CDemu Kernel Modul[sic] for Linux" .. but I fail to see how it is any more useful than mounting the ISO9660 filesystem over a loopback device ?
mount -o loop mymovie.iso /mnt/mymovie for example.
A: that only works with iso files --> only one data track
many bin/cue files from windows guys have more than one track and are most of the time in raw mode (that means in the bin file is also the error correction code of the cd), you can't mount that directly as an filesystem
|
I believe this is a subliminal way of saying, Yes, copy protection emulation works too, since error correction is related to bad sectors |
