At least with a patch it can use the ivtv as output device:

http://ivtvdriver.org/viewcvs/ivtv/trunk/misc/MPlayer-1.0pre7try2-ivtvosd.diff?rev=2767&view=markup

It may as well be able to play .iso's directly, IIRC.

Yes, AFAIK, it's a PS ("program stream") file, which means that it's composed 
of elementary (audio/video/subtitle/...) streams.  That's my understanding 
and I am probably neglecting some details.. ;-)
