Comment 39 for bug 82307

Maybe you could look into the VCD image format and realize that it is not a filesystem in the sense you are thinking of. The "files" you see are merely references to actual data on the CD, and not meant to be copied around like mpg files. Otherwise there wouldn't be a need for vcd image tools (like vcdxrip and vcdimage).

As I believe I have said in previous comments on this very same bug report. If you can play the VCD, and use vcdxrip (or similar tools), then the kernel is reading the disk just fine. It does not, however, have support for VCD formats (which is different than ISO-9660).

So your request requires a new feature, not a "fix". This "feature" will not be implemented in Ubuntu at any point in time, unless some one goes out implements it and submits it to the upstream kernel.
