Playing DVD from ISO files

My guess is that they will never support it, since DVD is now a "dead format", but that's just me guessing. I could easily be wrong.
Depending upon your number of DVDs, you might consider converting them to MKVs. MakeMKV for Mac is free right now (and has been for several years). It does a fantastic job of making a decrypted file with full video and audio resolution. Obviously that's up to you and the effort involved.
Best of luck to you.

Brian, it's not some blame to you. But anyway, I am JRiver loyal long-term customer and I am dissatisfied.
The point is may be DVD is a "dead format" now, but there is A LOT of content on this format only and exclusively. I have JRiver to solve problems with media content, not to create artificial ones. We are talking about some obvious and essential feature.
So I fulfilled my part of agreement, I am just purchasing your piece of SW again and again. I expect my discrete needs to be noticed as well... Actually I am not alone with these needs for sure. :)

Brian doesn't work for, develop or represent JRiver, like he already said. He's just another customer like you and me.
Read the post I linked to above, a JRiver developer (Hendrik) responded to the same question last year explaining why DVD ISO playback in JRiver Media Center works on Windows only right now. Here, I'll quote what Hendrik said last year...

I can just kindly ask Hendrik to add DVD support on MacOS not in short-term, but in long-term strategic plans. :)
Lack of this is just an obvious competitive disadvantage.
