Forgot the second question,
That image can be mounted like any other udf image:
mount -o loop -t udf filename.img /mnt/img
That should work in OS X as well.  Or they can always use Disk Utility to 
convert it to whatever the desired format is.
As for windows, something like Daemon Tools could be used. I know WinRAR 
supports extraction from ISO9660 images, perhaps it's the same with UDF?

If you were looking to just hand out the .vob files (the files with the actual 
video streams) most media players support reading directly from them.  Or you 
could convert to an MPEG-2 and encode them however you wish.
