Will this play .iso dvd rips? If so, are the menus accessible?

I have never tried to play .iso dvd rips. I recommend go to their website and ask support.

Though this one says media player I would not recommend it. It will not recognize or play all media files. It was extremely disappointed. You would be better off with either of the next two models up $50-70$ or 70$-100$ price range. I have had not problems with any files since making the upgrade.

I don't own one - yet - but I believe there's 2 ways:1. Rip your DVD using a 3rd party program - handbrake should work I believe. Looks like the player supports a lot of formats by default.2. If you want integration, here's a direct quote from the Archos 5 website: "...You can now copy your DVDs onto your ARCHOS 5 and play them directly, with subtitles if you want, with the MPEG 2 compatibility. ..." For that you'll need to buy the Cinema codec from them.

Yes, press Stop button then press Menu button as soon as the DVD loads. I think it's called Direct Play feature.

Sorry for my last post, I mixed this player with my old player up. It would play home movie in mpeg format, but it wouldn't play Rip DVD.

Thank you, Paul! I have the disc and the "Quick Setup Guide", but don't seem able to play certain DVD's.

If your dvd player ( most likely from 2008 and on) is a newer one it should be able to play those formats. If it is an older model you will have to encode (change it a readable format) your content. Blu-ray players should handle those extensions just fine without any encoding. This program I do not believe will do any type of encoding or file conversion. You will have to get another Nero program or some other program that will. So, burning your files, not a problem. If you dvd player accepts those extensions is another matter.

Yes, but just for the basic operation: radio, volume, tracks, you cannot operate DVD menu

It played a few for me, but not many. With most discs I tried it told me I needed to install the latest patch. I installed the patch and it still told me the same thing. Some of the ones it would *not* play for me were The Amazing Spider-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Dark Knight Rises, and Game of Thrones. These are some pretty high-profile titles for it to not work. I think I was able to play Grimm Season 2 and that was about it. It played DVDs with no problems, but the interface is pretty terrible so it's not worth it.

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

It depends on your system. Check your disc information page, or you dvd guide.

Depending on your disk drive (it has to be rated for Blue Ray) able to play . You need proper drivers for what windows system you are using. I have a E6500 in my system and I have a DVD recorder and with no problems.

I have the same experience as you. the manual clearly states that it will not play DVD+R or DVD+RW, but I have had no problem playing either.

That's a software issue. As long as you have the software to utilize either the dvd files or an iso, you can burn it to dvd
