iso file

[peat moss]

actually, i don intend to burn it, i just wanna extract it

Then try mounting it on a virtal drive as a few member's have suggested . Example I got a file I D/L last night called a DAA. file never heard of it .


PowerISO opened it for me . Here's a trial here :

What is it a game ? Mabye try anouther download , which is a pain if it took you awhile to down load .

If it's a movie then open it with Videolan.

If it's a game then mount it with Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools.

no, its a movie, does it work on videolan even if its not extracted?

Maybe there are Chinese characters in the name or volume label. I once had all kinds of problems with an Iso until I renamed it with out the characters. Windows will not recognize them and spits the file out with errors.

lol, tht's the prob...no wonder thx

its the first time i ever downloaded an iso file, are iso files always this big and only contains a short moive? when i've extracted my file, the components are in separate and the file is 8GB in size, but the movie is only abt an hour...

That's a Dvd9 or Dual layer file from the original dvd. What happens is there may be two actual movies of the same thing on the disk, one in full screen and one wide, or it maybe a theatrical version and a directors cut on one disk. Mount the iso in Daemon tools and then use dvdshrink or another type of shrinker to look at the contents. This may give you some clue to the contents, (two movies?) and allow you to save one if thats the case with 100% or close quality. You can select each in turn and use the viewer to see if its a full screen and widescreen split. I suspect thats it if the movie is only an hour, or there must be a lot of extras.

Tell us what the name of the file is, then we can stop guessing and tell you what to do with it.
