I use VLC as my main video player. I like it particularly because it can play DVD-ISO files directly. But every now and again it hits a file it can't play. If I write the file to DVD it plays it fine, but if I then use DVD Shrink to recreate the ISO file it still won't play. I have a file now that won't play in VLC on my computer nor will VLC play the DVD I burned from that image using IMG Burn, but it plays perfectly in VLC on someone else's Windows machine.
I haven't a clue what's going on - does anyone else? Is there any other simple player that will play a DVD-ISO file?
Should have said - I'm using Win 7 x32 on a two years-old Toshiba laptop.

So nobody can suggest another software package which can directly play DVD-ISO images?

latest version of VLC is 1.1.7 there is a stanalone version that doesn't need to be installed just run from its own folder.
