Mounting a .ISO and playing on VLC?!?!?!?

Postby Langer1 » 12 Dec 2009 20:42

Hi!

I have an American DVD which used to work on my VLC(Irish PC) but now wont(it runs but appears all digital blotchy)however it works perfectly on a friends machine on VLC,so I dont think its a problem with my DVD drive.

Anyway,I created a .ISO image of the DVD on my friends machine and have tried to mount and use that on my PC,and I get the error:

"Playback failure:
VLC cannot set the DVD's title. It possibly cannot decrypt the entire disc.
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd://F:\'. Check the log for details."

So then I exracted the data from the image and got several .VOB files.The intro file works on VLC but the others dont.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?How I can fix it?I'm not sure if the .ISO is the problem or VLC or whatever.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you! :D

p.s.I used MagicISO to make the .ISO images

If you want to read an ISO, you need to either open the ISO file directly, or open the IFO file inside the ISOFS, not VOBs.
