RE: Best solution for DVD ISO´s? - jazzl - 27th Jan, 2015 12:47 AM

Just found out that I am actually able to play ISO`s, but not all. The ISO that would not start is one that I made myself from one of my own DVD´s, but it works fine under Windows.
I tried with a couple of other ISO´s from others, and these worked well.
Any ideas about whether if there are different kind of ISO´s outthere, and also: Any suggestions as to what I should be using for ripping to ISO in order for it to be an ISO format that xbian will understand?

Thanks

Beset Regards

Thanks for all your help - I think at least I now know what is possible and what´s not. And I think there´s no more needs for indept investigation since it´s very little need I have for playing ISO´s - just wanted to be sure that my options are the best when I really need it.

Best Regards

Only time I need ISO's to play is with many of the music dvds I have. It's the only way to get to the track you want quickly and usually they add some nice graphics as well.

On that note, what is the best solution to rip a music dvd with menus for playing with kodi? Anyone have a good method that works well?

Being that ripping is illegal we can't discuss that subject here Wink

to be honest, I dont think there is much effort into this for XBMC as these formats are dying slowly.
My solution is just a good standalone BD player, I mean real player Big Grin Have one of these for CD/DVD?BD myself. Not used much but is here when I need it Wink
