Hi,
At present this is not something that can be done without a bit of
scripting and changes to the dvd-handler script (and maybe adding
a wrapper script around mount). I don't have time to do it at the
moment but here are the changes required just in case someone else
has time
1 - make dvd-handler write/add to an ISO and not a device
it also needs to do some magic to allow different iso images
to live in the same directory (probably using the base
volumename as a parameter)
2 - make dvd-handler aware of the disk size (currently it reads
it from the disk itself at runtime). Basically the free
command for dvd-handler needs to return the size without
knowing the disk size
3 - wrap the current call to mount in a script (dvd-mount?)
that takes the volumename and finds the appropriate iso
image.
Finally I know that kern has a dvd-simulator script for testing
as I remember that doesn't actually write the iso itself so it
isn't fully useful but it probably has some useful bits in there.

P.S. This functionality would be really useful for DVD regression
testing. It would speed up the testing no-end whilst actually
generating the proper iso image.
