[pct-l] Class of 2008 DVD is online on bittorrent

[enyapjr at comcast.net]

Not sure what you mean by "extract the iso file or "mount" the iso to play it."

I start the VLC player program...
Click on "Media"...
Click on "Open File"...
Go to folder where the PCT2008.iso file is located...
Change "Files of type" to "All Files (*)"...
Then double-click on the "PCT2008.iso" icon...
Voila - it plays just like it's a DVD in the drive with all the familiar controls of DVD playback...

The above might sound like a lot of 'manipulation' - but I can start playing the .iso file faster than inserting the DVD I burnt and having it
automatically start...  Then I simply let it play the intro "Orange Sky" for a few minutes  ;-)  while I check email, then I select the "Play Movie"
or "Scene Selection" depending on my mood and time available to watch...

See if that might work for you on your PC...

Happy trails!!!

I am a PC'er and loaded the VLC Player to check it out. It does not play an
iso file directly on a PC. You must either extract the iso file or "mount"
the iso to play it.
I use a free utility called Virtual
CloneDrive(http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html) to mount the
iso. This allow you to see the iso as if you put a DVD into a drive. Then
just play like any other DVD.

See previous post,
...
Once you download the VLC player, run it and select the PCT2008.iso file...
You could also burn the .iso image to DVD (with DVD burning software) - then
watch it with the VLC player on your computer (by burning a DVD you can also

watch it on your TV if you have a DVD player there)...

Hope that helps.  Happy trails!!!
