387890 2005-09-12 14:51:00 Ok, hi all :) uuhm I've got this problem with a file I downloaded with Bittorent .
It's a serie called Red vs Blue, It's a video, but . . . . I can't play the file . I tried Windows Media Player, DivX, the file is an ISO file, so it's like "filename . ISO"

So first of all I don't know what ISO is, what it means, and second of all, I don't know how to play it . Do I need to convert it? If yes, . . . how???

Man this file took me 2 days to download, I can't delete it and look for another file, PLEASE help me! :dogeye:

Thank you so much, really thank you! ^_^

387891 2005-09-12 15:27:00 Try using the VLC media player, it plays most things (www.videolan.org) if not then use Alcohol 120% to burn it and watch on a dvd player. :thumbs: DaveBritton (7395)
387892 2005-09-12 15:38:00 An ISO file usually needs to be read from a disk (i.e., CD or DVD).

You can either burn it to a disk and watch it, or mount a virtual DVD drive and watch it from the HD. Google for "virtual DVD" and find some apps.

387893 2005-09-12 15:47:00 Mount it with Daemon tools which is a free download. Unless you want to copy it to cd for keeping. I keep some games mounted with daemon to save putting in my cd. Mcpisik (4924)

387895 2005-09-12 20:52:00 .VOB files usually mean that the ISO you got is meant to be burnt to a DVD. bob_doe_nz (92)
387896 2005-09-12 20:58:00 If its still unpacked, try repacking it with WinRar into a .iso file again, then use something like Nero (or some other software that opens iso files and burns them) and burn it to DVD Myth (110)
387897 2005-09-12 21:14:00 hmm thanks you guys! but look, I unpacked it with winrar . . and now i got this map with . . . . VOB files . . . and uuuhm . IFO files . What does that mean!? :help:

You now have the files that make up a standard dvd movie . (vob and . ifo)
Try opening windows media player: choose open file: find folder with these files: choose files of types, any type, so that they show: see if they will play from there by clicking on them to open .

If not, clone dvd (I use) or some other dvd burning program will put them on a dvd for you . . .

An ISO is an exact copy of a discs image

:thumbs:

Wouldnt bother with daemon as it just allows you to pretend your cd is in a virtual drive, so it can be played without inserting it . . . and some other things like copy protection . . .
