I have an ISO image of a Blu Ray, and when I mount it on Daemon Tools, Windows says it cannot read it. I don't have a Blu Ray drive, any ideas how I can do this?

SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive

(Erm... I overheard someone say once.)

 

? Using that software is not illegal Hank

 

No, it's not, I believe the bloke had backed up a lot of data that he explicitly owned the copyright for to a Blu Ray disk and then made an iso of it that he wanted to be able to mount.

What other reason could you possibly have? Illegal you say - I'd stay away from anything nefarious I would.

 

 

How big are blu-ray iso's?
It wouldn't take long before I'd hit my 40Gb monthly allowance I bet!

 

Retail full rips 50gigs, if you're lucky then you'll get a scene released 25gig

 

You 'can' get full ripped HD with HD audio for around 6gig, this would be the same as watching a 30gb+ BluRay, aslong as you stream it off.....

 

yup theres files around the 9 gig mark (dual layer), they will have 1080p picture but only DTS sound.

If you wanted DTS-HD or True HD you'll need two dual layers.

There called ps3avchd

 

Aye, what I have is a rip of a Blu Ray in HD264 format and they have created an .ISO from it, and that's what I cannot read, about 9 gb.

Very frustrating

Geezer

 

it maybe a avchd format which you'd need a ps3 or a blu ray compatible to play avchd

 

I am tyring to re-encode for PS3, I play them thru my media server, but I need to get it to a place (or format) where the PS3 could read it. I can't mount it somewhere where the PS3 can see I think.

Geezer

 

PS3 Media Server

 

I can't share it because Windows doesn't recognise it. I tried it in Nero Media Home 4 and it's not selectable as a share.

PITA!

Geezer

 

Couple of points...

Did you try what I told you in post 2?

Are you sure it's a blu ray iso and not an iso of a dual layer DVD that contains a x264 encoded file ripped from blu ray?

Did you try what I told you in post 2?

 

it will be in avchd format like i said windows will not read it

 

I lookd at that but there didn't seem to be a trial available, and I couldn't find an alternative *cough* copy

I'm not sure how it has been created, except to say it was originally a Blu Ray and now it is an ISO. I assume it is a H264 file on it, but I cannot read it to see.


Maybe, but whatever it is and whatever media server I use I ill still have the same problem, I suspect?

Geezer

 

What are you on about? It's free and not difficult to find.

SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive

(The first hit if you google what I wrote)

 

Because I'm an idiot and I looked at the wrong thing on the page

I'm an IT Professional, what did you expect?

Got it now, thanks, let's see what happens.......

Geezer

 

fingers crossed...

 

Darn! Same thing as when I mounted it on Daemon Tools.

What a pain!

Why did these people upload it in this format if it's so hard to read the damn things?!?!?!?

Geezer

 

Give this a try.

sentry23 - GOTSent

 

I picked that up from a post by you, I believe, a few weeks ago. Brlliant software! But sadly, not good enough to read this sodding ISO!!!!

Geezer

 

ah right

You sure it's a actual iso then? I wonder if it's had the extension changed for some reason?

 

Try ISOBuster to extract the .m2ts file.

 

It'll be 100% one of those avchd's discs. Because when I try and mount the ISO it will not mount.

Burn it on a dual layer and play it on the ps3 or avchd compatible blu ray player

 

I don't wish to sound thick here, but what the hell, I haven't done too well on this thread so far What do I burn it as? DVD Video? DVD Rom? anything else?

Geezer

 

It's a ISO isn't it? Download imgburn and burn the ISO on a dual layer you don't need to set what type it is as that was done on creation of ISO job done
