To play an ISO image on your DVD player instead of mounting on a visual drive and watching on your computer, you must first burn the ISO images onto a DVD-R/RW. It is also possible to mount your ISO image in a virtual drive and copy the .avi, .mpeg, mpeg-3 or 4, etc. video files to your computer before you burn those video files onto a DVD-R/RW.

Acquire files

Download your choice of an ISO burning program and install on your computer.

Place your DVD-R/RW into your computer burning drive.

Open your ISO burning program and click "Search for ISO" or "Search for File". Look for either your ISO image or your video file of choice. Select it.

Select your burning "write speed," "buffer level," and the option to "close the program after burn and eject" to your preference.

Select "Burn" and your DVD-R/RW will be burned. Place into your DVD player.
