Title: DVD and Blu Ray iso files won't play
Post by: Z0001 on August 01, 2013, 05:49:23 am

Hi

I can't get these iso files to play. They mount in VCD but then nothing happens if I try from theatre view. If I go into the regular MC view and go to the VCD in the tree I can start them, but with the DVDs I have tried they stall and don't go to the regular DVD menu. Is MC supposed to show the DVD menu?
Do I need to set anything in windows auto play options (I have this switched off because i dont want movies to play when they are mounted, only when played from a player) or in MC options?

Thanks for any help!

Did you already look into these guides...
Wiki ISO Files: http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/ISO_Files (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/ISO_Files)
madVR Guide: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=80253.0 (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=80253.0)

Enabling Auto Play (Wiki ISO Files 2.) is not mandatory.
Concerning Auto import (Wiki ISO Files 8.), another command is necessary to perform the auto import properly: "Media Sub Type = If(IsEqual([File Type],iso,8),Movie,[Media Sub Type])" together with "Skip for files that already have a value in this field" activated.

So far, besides installing Virtual Clone Drive, that's all one needs to consider for playing iso images, either DVD or Blu-ray.
I guess the root cause for your stalled DVD playback is also related to the incomplete setup.
