DVD ISO's

Dougie085 · 2008-05-04, 18:30

I was curious if there is a way to make Media Portal play DVD ISO's without mounting them or anything. Currently they aren't even showing up in my movies list.

You need to add .iso into your Movie Extensions within MP config. And to answer your question, only mountable through Daemon which is done automatically anyway (see MP Config General Settings).

Ok so I just need to install Daemon tools then? And thanks!

Yup. You also want to turn off 'Secure Mode' otherwise Daemon will ask you whether you want to play the cd/dvd everytime MP mounts it.

I was just about to ask about that!

Also... I have like several movies backed up. Garfield the movie the preview work the menu works and everything but the main movie doesn't have a picture. Cloverfield works perfect. Not sure whats going on here... Maybe I need to install a DVD codec but then why does Cloverfield work? I have CoreAVC installed right now.

For DVD's you need an MPEG2 codec such as Cyberlink's PDVD7 or 8...

But why does Cloverfield work?
