For DVD ISO playback, there's a fine line between making a media player and a DVD player, which requires a license, which the DVD Alliance won't give.Īlso, most hardware media players today are based on Android, sometimes customized like the players you listed and the Nvidia Shield. I explained why hardware Blu-Ray media players that can play ISOs aren't available above. 'Why cant we have a hardware company make media players that actual work as if it was a BluRay or DVD Player ?' I like to do things right, if i'm taking the time out in the first place! It's just such a mess and hard work, Yes I could just Make MKV, but it's not archiving the DVD ? It all sounds a bit of a waste of space if you ask me? Just so I can watch them on the media player hardware ? It's just everything in the video ripping department seems such hard work !ġ) So I'm doing the right thing ripping the DVDs to 1:1 ISO images, at least it archives them for the future in case the discs degrade, and I have not lost any content or quality, not that it is that great anyway with todays large screens.Ģ) I now have to spend a whole load more time and double up / waste more storage ripping out the movies from the ISOs and losing all the extras, unless I wan to strip those too!

Why do we have to follow what plex say or think Yes I did read what PLEX say, but there reason is that other system/hardware/os does not support menus navigation etc
