How do I specify a DVD's title and chapter on the vlc command line?

I have an ISO file ripped from cinema DVD with menus. I want to know how to play the ripped movie ISO file with VLC.app from main contents not from menu. According to help manual, when I start to play VLC from certain chapter, I can use command line like below.

vlc dvd://[device][@raw_device][@[title][:[chapter][:angle]]]

Such that, I tried below. But error occured.

vlc /Path_to_file/Platoon.ISO ://@1:2

vlc /Path_to_file/Platoon.ISO

Actually this latter simple command worked, but the title menu begins which I didn't want.

Any help will be appreciated.

A couple of issues there. Firstly, the man page actually specifies: 

dvd://[<device>][@<raw device>][#[<title>][:[<chapter>][:<angle>]]]

ie. title/chapter specification is separated by a #, not @.

Secondly, this is all one argument, without spaces. So, for your case (using title 1, chapter 2), you would want something like:

vlc dvd:///path/to/dvd.iso#1:2
