It isn?t very difficult to create and play Blu-ray ISO image files on a Media PC.  If you don?t know what to do this is a quick guide to help you out.  First of all you will need a powerful enough Media PC that is hooked up to a HDTV and a Virtual Drive setup and media player software such as PowerDVD.

Step 1: Add Blu-ray ISO image.
Download and install Daemon Tools Lite.  Once installed run the application and Click the plus icon to add the Blu-ray ISO file into virtual drive: Select the ISO file you want and then click ?Open?.

Step 2: Mount Blu-ray ISO image to a virtual drive.
Right click on the file name and select ?Mount? then ?Device?.

Step 3: Find Blu-ray ISO image file in the virtual drive.
After the Blu-ray ISO image file is mounted into virtual drive now click close. The ISO image file will show in your BD-Rom Drive.

Step 4. Play the Blu-ray ISO image file from the virtual drive.
All you need to do now is use a media player like PowerDVD to play the file.  PowerDVD is a quality application for Blu-ray playback on a Media PC. You can use it to open the Blu-ray ISO image files from your virtual drive and play it just like standard Blu-ray disc.

You can download both PowerDVD and Daemon tools lite from betdownload.com
