alcohol instead of daemon tools

[bone]

How does the daemon tools feature work? The reason I'm asking is if I'm able to use alcohol instead of daemon tools, as it's the software I already use and didn't want to install daemon tools to mount images. I'd prefer to just keep using alcohol since it can mount more types of images and has more features and I already have it installed as well.
I guess I'm just not comopletely sure how it's part of the system. If I create an image and mount it with daemon-tools or even alcohol how is this even effecting gb-pvr, I'd figure it shouldn't care if you put a real DVD or an image.

GB-PVR runs daemon-tools (when user tries to play an iso image), passing the appropriate command line to mount the image as a drive. This command line is only compatible with daemon-tools.

The daemon tools feature is about having it auto mount the image etc when the user chooses to play a DVD image from the hard drive. What you're describing is manually mounting the image, then just accessing it though the main DVD button. Sure, you can do that, its just requires you to manually do the mounting.

I used to use daemon-tools for years, before using alcohol so I really don't mind usnig it. I'm trying to see if I understand completely, if I have 10 images in a directory I can access the images through GV-PVR and it will automatically become mounted? Compared to using daemon-tools outside of GVB and mounting it manually?
I don't have an ISO image to paly around with at this time, but it seemed GBPVR allowed me to select alcohol in the option where it shows the path for daemon-tools, but I'm guessing it won't work since it's passing different parameters?

Correct.

Yes, also correct.

One could create an AutoIt script and name it the same name as the Daemon tools executable that would capture the GBPVR command line call and then pass that information off to Alcohol either by command line or by the gui etc.

AutoIt is a pretty simple scripting language you can find out more here...
