need to read ISO movie files?

Question

I have DVD fab platinum ed. I got it to rip movies to my HD, and eventually set up a home entertainment network and a home media server. but our DVD playing program doesn't read ISO's. I can watch the movies only by opening dvd fab and then using the preview window, which you right click and make full screen. but it doesn't have anything but basic functionality. any thing out there that plays ISO movie files? or any other suggestions?

An ISO is a disk image, not a movie format. You'll need to burn it with software like imgburn if you want it to work correctly.
