I'm currently downloading a television series in one very large ISO file. This is an "image" of the contents of a DVD and I presume some kind of compressed format.
Does anybody know how to handle these files so that you can actually watch the contents as a video ?
Watch on what?
If on your telly, burn a dvd from the .iso file.
If on your computer, open the file with WinRAR and extract the ISO content to a harddisk folder and play it from there using your favorite media player.
Just burn onto a DVD to watch on a normal player. If you want to watch on your computer you need to "mount" it first... use alcohol 120% if you're on windows
(
give to your DVD/CD burning software it'll know what to do. it is an "image" of the dvd/cd "Create from image" might be a menu choice or maybe even a simple double click on the file will open ready for burning.
Sounds like I'll be burning it to DVD thanks.
TD geeks are just like buses, you wait 5 minutes, then 3 come along at the same time:)
^Take the first one :)
^Yes sir:)
make sure it's a DVD5 iso not a DVD9 ISO or it won't burn on your drive
^How do I find that out ?
the size of the ISO, if it's more than 5GB then it's a DVD9 and will need to be resized with a soft like DVDshrink or DVDrebuilder
^Thanks, 3.9gb so I should be ok ?
Ig you have an external DiVX playing HDD it will normally read iso files as well
