What is the best free app for playing a dvd iso?

Looking for windows app. Either a player that can read an iso or will emulate a drive with that iso in it. Please justify why you think its the best.
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

VLC

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

It plays anything, is very well coded / fast, and its open source / free!

Here is a review: http://lifehacker.com/222664/download-of-the-day-vlc-086-all-platforms

This software is outstanding. Give it a try.

Yes. VLC Player is the best.
Daemon Tools always runs in the background so it does take processing power (even though it's slight) from the CPU. This is bad if you have an old machine.

So try VLC. It'll be your best bet.

This is what I use, Daemon tools lite. It works great for what you need. I also included a link for you that is user comments about their use of the product as well.

I would definitely agree. I have tried most tools, even ones that aren't free, but Daemon tools is still my preferred method.

VLC player could also work, if all you want to do is watch a movie from a ripped DVD, but that doesn't give you as many options as Daemon tools.

If you want a free solution, you can download the Microsoft Virtual CD control panel from this page:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916902

It's a relatively obscure Microsoft tool, and it's not supported currently.
That being said, I've never had any problems with it, just mount your iso to a virtual drive and point your media player at it.

I first ran across this tool after reading the following article a while back:

Just use Apple DVD Player.

To play a movie that is saved in ISO file format on Mac OS X, start the built-in DVD Player (find it in the Applications Folder, and it won’t be on the Dock at the bottom of your screen by default).

Then in Finder (or on your Desktop) double click the ISO file to "mount" the ISO movie file. Apple DVD Player will automatically recognize that a movie DVD has been loaded and will start playing the movie immediately.
