Using open disc to open an iso

[phillip2]

I would like to use the open disc dialog to open an iso dvd image. I want to use the dvdsimple:
option, so that I can transcode.

But the dialog only allows me to select a device or an VIDEO_TS directory; in videolan 8, this used
to also allow selection of ISO images. Without this transcoding isn't possible in a meaningful way,
as it just always transcodes the first title.

Or am I doing something wrong?

You chould be able to enter the *.iso location into the "Customize" field with "Show more options" ticked (i.e. "Media >> Open Disc... >> (Tick "Show more options") etc.).

For example, if the location is C:\Temp\File.iso:

Code: Select all

"dvdsimple://C:\Temp\File.iso"

Or e.g. (if *nix based) /home/name/file.iso:

Code: Select all

"dvdsimple:///home/name/file.iso"

Or you can just enter in the ISO location in the "Disc device" field.

I already tried this,but perhaps I got it wrong, so I'll give it another go. I think that the GUI needs fixing though. I was wondering whether
this functionality had been moved elsewhere, but it looks like this is not the case.

Thanks!

Yes AFAIK the "Browse..." button should allow for files and directories to be selected (be difficult to do both though).
