Viewing an ".iso" file

[roxnrolls]

I have had great success with the widely adapted means of burning an isofile from DVD burner and then using Creater Classic to burn to the DVD. I have one question though - is it possible to view the isofile (and if so, what program and how) just to be sure the isofile is all I had intended it to be?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

EMC 7.5 has a utility Disc Image Loader that does just that. Don't think it's included with EMC 7. So it depends which version you have.

I use Disc Copier to burn my ISO files to a DVD. You can preview the file before you burn it. See the attached image.

To add to what Bruce said......

 

You won't see the option to burn to a DVD folder on your computer until AFTER you select the .ISO file as shown in his picture. The option will then magically appear on the Disk Copier screen.

 

Once the DVD has been burned to your hard drive, you can use Roxio Player, Cinemagic (included in 7.5) or any other DVD playing software program (like Cyberlink's PowerDVD which comes free on many computers.) to view the DVD.

Oh! I never thought of seeing what was covered under "Options" so now I will know what to do. Not to be arguementative but I naturally tried Roxio Player and go a message that the format was not recognizable or the file was empty! Same with the other popular programs on the computer. As long as i have a means, I'm happy!

 

Thanks to all!

That's ok. We don't mind argumentative.

 

The version that I have on this computer has Roxio Player. You'll be playing the DVD that you burned to your hard drive - NOT the .iso file.

 

Launch Roxio Player, go to the small icon in the lower left hand corner, choose Opern Media. Browse to the Video_TS file that you just burned. Open it and the file necessary to play the DVD should be shown. Click on it, then Open and it should play in Roxio Player.

 

It's a similar process for the Cyberlink Power DVD that's on my computer, but the controls are on the bottom right. Select source and select the folder.

 

If you want to use the Disk Image Loader, you have to first create a virtual drive on the computer using that program, then add the .iso file to the drive. If you need more information on how to do that, let us know and someone who's got 7.5 on their computer will help.

 

 

Thanks for the info. I'll stick with loading Dic Copier and the option button! That is about as computer savvy as I get.
