How to watch a .ISO file movie?

What is the simplest way to watch it? It is on a netbook and it doesn't have a DVD burner, I just want to watch it once...

Get power ISO. It creates a virtual drive on your PC. Right click on the ISO image, and select "Mount Image". This should allow you to either extract the file, or just watch it.

I think the simplest way to to download VLC Media Player (which is free) and play the file using it.

Well, buying an externally powered disc-drive that plugs into a USB port should sooner or later be on the wish list of anyone who owns a netbook, especially if that's the only computer they've got.

 

Kind of funny, when the simplest choice has been already given, people are still trying to give more complicated advice.

Why oh fucking why?

 

This is the best answer by far.

 

Well, no, that is not the only computer I got and yes, disc drives are going out of fashion/business.

Was just a round-a-bout way of pointing out that "netbook" shouldn't automatically mean inability to play and burn DVDs. We do have a netbook and an externally powered dvd/cd writer to plug into it, without the former even remotely being the only computer around here, either.

 

ISO Just stands for Industry Organization for Standardization, in essence it just means having a particular file format that is compatible with a number of different programs with the particular industry.

ISO's can sometimes be other formats of file type with just the extension changed to
.ISO, however it's a more compatible type compared to the filetypes that various burning and copying programs use, which are usually limited to only that program.

The usage of ISO's in CD's and DVD's is usually to generate a copy that is compatible with as many virtual drives and burners as possible. It should be noted that laws in various countries differ in regards to having a "copy" of a disc, some allow for a copy to be made as long as it's not made available to people that have never owned a legitimate print of that disc, others will not allow any copying at all. (Check online for information about copyright laws in your country)

In Syzygys case although he likely has an answer, there are many virtual programs online like:
MagicISO and powerISO.
Most of them are shareware, however they will allow the usage of the virtual drive "freely" (it's just copying a disc that costs if you buy the program)
