Actually, I just got through testing it out just before reading this 
reply. I did have to change the mount to mount -o loop /path to iso 
/media. (of course it helps to unmount the actual DVD prior to 
that,,,,oops!!!) then from VLC client I then selected the path of 
/media/VIDEO_TS and bingo up came the menu to select the episodes. This 
is what I wanted all along. Thankyou.....
