Tried this, didn't work.

Since there was no such problem with k3b 0.11 which comes with SuSE
9.1, I guess they have fixed this problem, if at all this is a problem
with k3b. I better do more research on this before bothering them! :-)

I still don't understand... The VCD was on a CD-RW. I simply made a
.img image of it.
Why should this increase the size? Where does ISO9660 come in the picture?
Could this increase in size be because of some formatting done while
creating .img images, instead of simple bit-by-bit imaging? Is this
.img format specific to k3b? Wait, don't fire at me so soon, I'll
search the web for this now! :-D

> Try loop mounting the .img files.
I tried that, didn't work.

kapil:/home/TTux # mount -o loop /data2/movies/lakshya/1/k3b_0.img
/media/diskimage/
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

kapil:/home/TTux # mount -o loop -t iso9660
/data2/movies/lakshya/1/k3b_0.img /media/diskimage/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       or too many mounted file systems
(okay, now I know iso9660 won't work! What format does a vcd use? I
mean, what agrument [-t <filetype>] should I pass to mount for
mounting a vcd? Does mount support mounting of vcds in the first
place?)

Kindly help me figure out this thing, and correct me whereever I'm wrong! :-)

Regards,
Kapil
