How to copy DVD to
ISO file and then playback? |
If you would like to simplify a
movie on your hard drive so it is only a single file instead of
several .ifo, .bup and .vob files after you create your backup, you
can convert your DVD to an ISO file. However, in order to play an
ISO file movie, you will most likely need third-party software.
DAEMON is one choice. It will create a virtual DVD drive on your
computer. Using this in combination with DVD player software is one
method to be able to watch your ISO file. You can download it and
use the freeware version of ''Daemon Tools Lite''
here.
