Can't get any ISO file to work

I'm sure this is a stupid problem and I'm just missing something, but I can't get any .ISO file to work. If I open the ISO and extract the video files, then VLC will play them just fine, but VLC won't play the ISO itself. Am I missing something, like a plugin that I need to play ISOs? Any help would be much appreciated!

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Here it is:

After dragging and dropping the ISO file (or opening it via Open File) VLC doesn't do anything past that; it acts like there's no file to play. I should have mentioned before that my VLC version is 2.0.1, the newest one from the Videolan front page. Thanks for the help!

As requested, please post the full resulting log.
And are you sure this ISO is a DVD image ? VLC can't play BD images for now.

Use open disk to open a .iso
