    What Media Program will read an ISO file straight from a PC
    What I really need is a Media Player that will play a .ISO file (A DVD Movie) straight from my PC. I am going to IRAQ and want to take some movies with me over there. Vice taking the Hard DVD's. Anyone have any idea?

    An IUSO file is not a necessarily a digital move. ISO are direct copies of disks and are used to create disks from the image.

    Do a search on ISO files for more info and possible tools.

    Wow you disagree a lot.

    Bottom line is that you cannot play an ISO directly in any media player. You cannot do ANYTHING with an ISO other than extract it somewhere.

    Bye.

    If it didn't help its because you didn't follow instructions. I suggested you do a WEB search. When I did, the first hit was a Wikipedia entry that explained what an ISO is and included info about tools.

    Because an ISO is an image file, you have to "mount" it as a virtual drive. So your system thinks it's the actual disk. From there you can use any software to compatible with the files in the image.

    Now maybe, you'll give a more appropriate comment, since your previous comment was incorrect.

    Hi,

    This might help you. http://www.isobuster.com/isobuster.php

    Like NeedKarma said before, you cannot play any ISO directly and you still have to extract the data on your HD. At least you save the money to burn it onto DVDs, but "waste" a lot of hard drive space.

    Sigh, quick to put down people who tried to help, but when it comes to apologizing for their error, they disappear.
