    Can anyone recommend a good .iso convertor?

    Looking for something with a simple interface and that will have no issues if files are on external HD.

    Thanks
    Keith

    Just mp4 so I can put on HD and watch via xbox 360 if possible.

    On second thoughts I think my HD is partitioned so 4gb might be max size, would rule out most movies.

    If you just wanted to play the videos on your computer, with a program like VLC Player, you can simply copy the biggest .vob files that are on the DVD. The movie is usually broken up into several vob files, but they will be the largest ones on the DVD.

    I don't know if your Xbox will recognize them and going this route means you end up with several files for each movie. However, these can be joined together. I found a forum post that said you could rename the .vob files to .mpg and the Xbox might recognize them, they also had some other tips ( http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/83319.aspx ).

    *If you go the above route, I would just try it with one file first, because they can be rather big

    Another option would be to try DvdX ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVDx )

    Edit: Not sure if DvdX offers a format supported by the Xbox though, but this looks promising (scribd.com/doc/12857859/How-to-convert-DVD-and-video-to-XBOX-360 )

    Hope it works out, when you get it working, it might be a good idea to post what you did, so this can help others with the same problem :)

    Tried the DVDx convertor there.

    2 hr film.

    Only 0.8% completed after 45 minutes, it's useless.

    RTE will probably be showing it on TV before it converts!

    I use freeware MagicDisk to create a virtual drive on which you can run ISO images as they are.

    I use DVDFab to convert DVDs to .ISO. Works a treat. You can also shrink the movie to DVD 5 size.
