Am talking here about homemade DVD’s – not movies or any protected stuff.

It'll make it seem like there's another DVD drive attached to the computer, and you can then mount the .ISO, and play it as normal.

If they're proper DVD-Video style, then if you do that, it's harder to make a player recognize menus and chapters.

876104 2010-04-13 05:55:00 Not really. I've done it here, no prob at all Speedy Gonzales (78)
876105 2010-04-13 05:57:00 Really? How do you get a player to load menus, etc from a normal directory? ubergeek85 (131)

I would store them on an external H/D and put in a folder,as I do with about 150 films.

Just play the main file. Depending on WHAT program you're using, it may or may not show the menu / chapters on the left or right
