To mount the iso:

sudo fuseiso /path/to/dvd.iso /mount/point -o allow_other

To unmount the iso:

sudo umount /mount/point

If fuseiso is not install:

sudo apt-get install fuseiso

Thanks for the pointer to fuseiso.

I didn't have fuseiso installed so I installed it:
$ sudo apt-get fuseiso

Then I made a mount point:
$ mkdir /tmp/mount

Then I mounted the ISO file:
$ sudo fuseiso /media/usr/FF884A33816B3AFF/movie.iso /tmp/mount -o allow_other

$ cd /tmp/mount; ls
AUDIO_TS VIDEO_TS

$ vlc
VLC: Media > Open Disc > Disc > Browse > /tmp/mount/VIDEO_TS > OK > Play

And the movie played!
Thanks for the simple solution!

And thanks for the rundown of how you did it. I've wanted to do this
quite a few times and just reverted to burning a RW and said screw it.
See, the usenet is good for something.

Running xbuntu 14.4, I just double click the .iso file from the graphical
interface. This displays the contents of the original media.
