I bought a 1TB Western Digital drive and I've been making .iso images of my DVD collection. I don't like ripping them, I enjoy the extras, commentaries, and other nifty features, so it's important to me to make as complete duplicate of the original disc as possible (also, for burning purposes incase one of my discs gets broken or damaged to the point that it can't play in a DVD player.)

I can play them right out of Front Row or DVD Player, but I have to mount them first. Does anyone know of a plugin for Front Row that'll read a .iso and play the movie without having to mount it first?

I have a few hundred movies, I can't have them all mounted on the desktop.

Ripping and having a complete duplicate of the DVD are not mutually exclusive btw.

I think there was a helper but it was for Front Row 1 on Tiger. I'm not aware of anything for Front Row 2. I rip so I haven't bothered looking.

nitoTV will play ISO files from what i've read. It's better known for running on an Apple TV but its wiki page has a link to a Leopard version.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
