When using KDE and the graphical file managers dolphin and konqueror,
vlc is not listed as an option to open a DVD ISO.  This is too bad, as
VLC is a very good player to use with DVD ISOs.

The following patch will solve the problem:

diff --git a/share/vlc.desktop.mimetypes b/share/vlc.desktop.mimetypes
index 8c2cf3b..3a261b1 100644

 # Playlists / text/xml list with URLs

Please include it in a future version of vlc.
