Nero burning rom 6 has a virtual drive that lets you run iso files to make sure that they work, if you download nero6 and install the virtual drive this will let you run and test any iso that is created.

This piece of software will let you access .iso among other types of CD images in a virtual CD drive. Another program that is fantastic for this use is http://www.alcohol-soft.com/

Thanks to all who responded. Solution was to burn the file to a cd.

If your .iso represents data, the first reply is spot on. The burning software will produce folders and files on the CD, just let it know that it is burning data, not audio or video.

However, if you have a movie, .iso is what plays on most set-top boxes for the TV. For computer software, it may need to be converted to .vob or .mpg or .avi. A good freeware, if .vob is acceptable, is DVDDecrypt. If not, then any good video suite, such as Nero, Roxio, Pinnacle, ArcSoft, Intervideo, etc. outputs MPEG. If yours does not accept .iso as input, do it in two steps with DVDDecrypt.
Each conversion takes about 20 minutes at 8X speed for about 90 minutes of video.

Success to you,
