Can a movie DVD image on the hard drive be "played"?

Can a movie DVD image on the hard drive be "played"?

If you have software that can mount a virtual drive like Roxio Easy Media
Creator.

not really... this can get complicated but try to keep it simple

if its saved in a ".iso" then yes you need something like demon tools
or alcohol
however if its jut a bulk of folders that have names like video_ts &
audio_ts then you can pretty much use any video player like windows
media player

my personal choice for video play back is the kmp player as it plays
high def movies too

You can download a free virtual drive from slysoft

http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html

If you have WinDVD you can copy the VIDEO_TS directory to the root directory
of one of your fixed drives (e.g. C:\VIDEO_TS) and you can tell WinDVD that
your C: is the default drive. It should then play C: as if was a DVD.

(Sorry only tried this on XP, but it's a suggestion).
