After the last update to kodi, iso dvd playback suffers lots of problem:
"I am running with ubuntu 14.10 and kodi, kodi will not play
.iso fie but VLC will. I have no idea what is going on. The name of the
offending .iso file is montezuma .iso."
I searched widely, many guys recommend to encode DVD ISO to MKV if
we’d like to put DVD ISO/IFO onto Kodi 15/14 without any issue since the
Kodi support very limited formats due to lack of Media Player.
Solution 1: MakeMKV can rips off disk or file directly to MKV for Kodi. However, it takes a long time for one ISO file.
Solution 2: After testing almost all DVD ISO converter online, I chose Brorsoft DVD Ripper for Mac (2016 Best DVD Ripper for Mac Review).
It not only can efficiently rip DVD IFO/ISO file to Kodi playable MKV
formats, but also can rip DVD files into other formats you want like
MP4, MOV, M4V, H.265 .etc. If you are a PC user, pls turn to DVD Ripper.
How to convert DVD ISO for Kodi(XBMC)
One: Launch the program and import DVD ISO files to the program. DVD folder and DVD IFO file are also supported.
Two: Click "Format" and from its drop-down
selections, you can define the output file format from "Common Video
> MKV (Matroska) Video (*.mkv)". H.264 MP4 is also a good format for
Kodi playback.
Tip: Before conversion, you can go to "Settings"
page to adjust parameters including audio&video codec, frame rate,
audio&video bitrate .etc.
Three: After all settings, tap "Convert" button to start DVD ISO to Kodi conversion.
After conversion, you can locate the ripped video in target folder
via "Open" panel and enjoy the DVD ISO movies on Kodi as you like.
