I was able to use a local mount to verify baseline performance of ISO
startup/playback, so that would probably do as a temporary workaround,
keeping in mind that support for local mounts is eventually going
away, and you may not see the video metadata under the local mount.

I'm not an expert, but that sounds more like a dvdnav issue than an
ISO storage group issue.
