I make ISOs of blurays and prefer to play from the ISO file. I used to use VLC to play them but lately VLC has been acting strange. MPC can't load bluray menus which can be a pain if its a foreign film or anime disc that, say, offers a choice between an edited dub version or the uncut sub (yes I have a show that does this).

So I'm asking if anyone here knows an alternative program? Or am I better off just trying to figure out what the hell VLC's damage is?

(If your curious the issue I'm having is VLC has had a lot of screen tearing lately and also likes to end video prematurely, like it'll act like an episode is over in the middle of the credits. It didn't used to do this. EDIT - Just to be clear its not just BD ISOs it does this with. It does it with any media I play with it. So if I'm listening to a song it'll also end prematurely).

Thanks in advance for all your help! I'm asking Kiwis because I don't trust anyone else to not be a shill.
 
I must ask and I apologize if this comes across as condescending:
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC?

Otherwise try mpv, that plays everything for me where VLC struggles (in my case 10-bit s-log3 files). As it is open source, there are various variations of it, some of which feature a GUI.
 
Would you accept makemkv which rips the video/audio/subtitles streams into an mkv? I do this with my Blurays instead of keeping isos in order to feed my plex/jellyfin server.

Patlabor has eng/jap versions and i split those into separate folders.

This was my first thought.

My next question would be for the given ISO has it ever played properly anywhere? It could be bad due to copy protection or a couple other things. Also another vote on the pile for makemkv.
 
I know this is a bit of a different approach but is there a reason you are attached to the iso files? They will inevitably take up alot more space than if you just used a standard video format, and you won't have to deal with extra menus that may have compatibility issues. By using iso you've added an extra layer of complexity that probably isn't needed and could be removed for a smoother experience. One of the benefits of running these files from a PC is that you have a unified interface and greater control, sticking to iso kind've undermines that.

I take it a recent update? Try using an older version and see if that helps. It's also possible that either the ISO is damaged or wherever you stored the ISO is having issues.

Try moving it around to another drive (or better yet, try another computer and player) and see if that helps. If not, the ISO itself is probably fucked and you should find a new copy.

You're trying to play the video by itself. Do it like a white man, a white man uses an ISO file, this is how a white bluray is played.

It's because making the ISO is a fire-and-forget process where I can be 99.9% sure anything that's on the disc is also in the ISO, and the ripping process takes like an hour at most.

Ripping to MKV significantly increases the amount of time, especially in odd cases where I have to manually do quality checks. I tend to only do it if I want to watch a movie right at that very moment and for some reason no program likes my ISO of it.

(To be fair, I tend to only have physical media if its legitimately the best option in the first place--if someone else has already ripped a show or movie in good quality I'll go with the version I can find on the high seas. Surprisingly there are a lot of cases where its still worth getting physical though).

idk anything about this topic, but have you considered switching to our Lord and Savior, GNU/Linux?

I actually was using Linux for awhile, but ended up forced to switch back to Windows... though I still have a Linux laptop on hand which I use for a few things (most notably torrenting as I don't trust torrent sites to not give me a virus).

But currently my Windows 10 machine not only runs better but can actually do things I've never found a way to do in Linux--or which can be done but with caveats: some aspect won't work right, or will work right but you have to know how to use the fucking terminal, and so on and so forth.

I wish older Windows like XP were still usable in the modern day, but unless there's some fan project I don't know about, AFAIK they aren't. Windows keeps doing stupid stuff that makes me not want to use it... but it also more consistently works for the things I do want. So its like I'm forced to live with Windows' bullshit.
 
I’ve always liked Pot Player. It has a ton of features and settings, so you can get a little lost. But it’ll play just about anything. I think it does Blu-Ray playback, but you might run into an issue of a non-HDCP display. But if your monitor has HDMI, it *should* work. This is al just guessing, though, I haven’t had the need to play a blu ray in a while.
