I was just wondering if anyone could give me a little bit of advice on buring .iso files onto dvd.
I have downloaded a film in .iso format and just need to know if just copying the file as it is onto the dvd will work.
The file is not able to be viewed on my pc, i think it is because i dont have any software which supports the format?????

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks

No, you need to burn it. Use DVD Decrypter (free program downloadable from this site): If the .iso is already on the HD, run Decrypter, check 'mode' to 'iso--write', select the iso file and destination, set write speed, put a blank DVD into the drive, then burn away.

.iso files usually cannot be viewed directly. You may mount it onto a virtual drive to view and check.

Good luck!

thanks for that it worked fine, although the quality of my choosen film was absolutly rubbish (anyone know a good site with high quality files).

Another question i have is what type of file is best to download for buring dvd films.

I know there are many different file types but i was just wondering if there was a file type which is best.

are mpeg files ok, i really am new to this game and i am just trying to pick up the basics.

Again any advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Glad that it worked. Re. quality, it really depends on quality of original movie, the coding-decoding process, and the internet transmission. Prensently many people use AVI (Divx format).

dont want to delve into this subject too much,but the type of files assiocated with film,doesnt always mean you are going to get a good result,it all depends on the source,like scf_au said
it depends on what films you are talking about..cough cough

this is a good pointer
