ISO to Hard Drive to Blue ray player?

[The Machine]

cool, i am really concidering buying the blue ray copy program but i have another question, as blank BD-R disks are kinda expensive is it possible to back your movie onto a external hard drive and then plug that into your BD player and play right of the thing?

Depends on your player.

also, most media players do not support BR menus so you have to do it in Main Movie mode.

ISO to Hard Drive to Blue ray player?

my goal here is to decode a dvd and back it up on my hard drive as a iso like normal but then transfer that to my external hard drive and hook that up to a blue ray player and play movies that way...is it possible?

i have a Sony BDP-S470 Blu-Ray Player and a western digital 1TB external hard drive.

Only thing to do is try it and see.

Couldn't see much about doing what you want on the Internet.

Read the manual that came with you Sony Blu-ray player to know if it able to play ISO from a HDD using USB.

Also this is not a DVDFab File Transfer problem so moving the thread to General Questions

Let me google that for you


It looks like you have a couple of problems with your Sony BDP-S470 .
.ISO is not supported as a container.
Additionally, NTFS is not supported as a file system.

This means your stuck with FAT32 for your WD HDD and that you're restricted to a file size of less than 4 GB (actually 4 GB - 2 Bytes)

I took the liberty of merging your other posts on this topic.
When you post on a topic, please stick with one thread.
Otherwise it becomes confusing and frustrating for those users trying to help or those attempting to learn something.
(And I realize that you changed topics midstream.)

Thanks

plus has anyone tried out the Asus HDP-R1 O! Play Digital Media Player ?

Read this about the Asus before purchasing:

MKV container support is there (but no detailed specs), no disc image playback, no DTS-HD audio, lots of things missing. It also apparently has trouble with high bitrates (1080p) in many formats. If you are a videophile, pass on this one. If 720p is OK, give it a try.

ok when you compress a your blu ray movie onto your hard drive what type of file is it? is it still a ISO or H.264?

because this device says it plays full 1080p

You obviously need to do a fair bit more learning about what you are trying to do. You are mixing file formats, encoding standards & various other terms in the incorrect fashion.

I suggest that with the level of knowledge that you currently appear to have, you would be better of spending a month of learning before you attempt anything.

first yeah i just took a look and found it's still a iso... but a question on a forum is still a question...no need to be rude GregiBoy

i back my dvd up using decrypter, then hitting it with dvdshrink and finally nero so yeah im looking to do something new...blu ray off the hard drive to the tv..... is this not a place to ask questions? if you cant help thats fine you can keep quiet

Hi The Machine,

Please try using DVDFab Blu-ray Copy to creat an ISO file for your blu-ray movie, then install DVDFab Virutal drive to mount the ISO file and play on your local hard drive or external hard drive with a blu-ray player software like powerDVD.

You can also burn the ISO file to a blank regular DVD or blu-ray disc, then play on your Sony BDP-S470 Blu-ray Player to see the result.

All our products are sold as "try-before-you-buy" software. You can try DVDFab Blu-ray Copy 30 days for free. May you good luck.
