This is very interesting and I think I understand what you are saying. Thus, the CD I have is a collection of images that have been transferred to a CD in a format that plays on a DVD player. However, this does not help me in finding a process which will enable me to extract the images in a form I can process. Perhaps, if there is no way to do this with Ubuntu I must look to Windows.
