Yup, got them there but when I try to play it with the internal player it
thinks for a split second and then exits.  If I use "vlc" to play the iso it
works just fine.

I'm thinking about setting up VLC for all video playback. Are there any cons
to doing it?  (I've played with changing the .AVI handler to VLC and it
seems to work fine.)
