ISO seems to be empty in Linux

So I had this ISO that I knew wasn't corrupted because I've seen it mounted and used on a Windows machine. In Linux though, mount gave me a "wrong fs type" error and both Archive Mounter and Archive Manager said the ISO is empty.

A quick search brought me to this Ubuntu Forums thread that gave me the answer. The ISO was in the UDF format. This is how I managed to mount it: sudo mount -t udf -o loop ~/path/to.iso mountdir
