An ISO file is an image of a CD\DVD. You don't play it, you either have to burn the image to a disk, or use a program to mount the image as a virtual drive.

.iso files are the files that make up a dvd.you normally shouldn't be able to download them anywhere.if its legal however this might work:rip it on a dvd and use a dvd player

.iso files are CD images and you need a program like WinISO to unwrap them and burn. Alternatively, you can unwrap the image and mount it on your hard-drive for use.

Daemon Tools probally the easiest way to do it.

you could also use this! http://tinyurl.com/gfe8. it's dvd ripping software but it will also write iso files.

Just use nero to burn the iso image to cd dvd or whatever medium you want. You can also use nero drive image to use the iso image before you burn it to you preferred medium!

not at all Lump, ISO files are fairly common these days, especially with all the Linux heads using ISO images for their distros

If you want to see what is on the .ISO image without having to burn the CD then try something like www.isobuster.com (freeware functions)

or you could burn it to a CD with http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
