4 Methods to Open and Play Blu-ray/DVD ISO Files on PC and Mac

An ISO image file is a type of disc image file used to replicate the contents of an optical disc, such as a Blu-ray and DVD, which contains every piece of information of the original disc. Generally, it is unnecessary to open ISO files and view their contents, because an ISO file can be written to a DVD disc to read. But knowing about how to open ISO files will allow you to troubleshoot any problems with the disc image or locate specific data within the image. Next, the article will show you how to open an ISO file on PC/Mac and two ways to play ISO on your computer.

Part 1: How to open an ISO file on Mac?

For Mac users, it is easy to mount an ISO file on Mac simply by double-clicking the ISO image file, and it will go through the auto-mounter app within OS X putting it on your desktop.

If this doesn’t work, you could make use of Mac computer’s built-in Disk Utility and a more advanced option of using the command line. The Disk Utility is located in the /Applications/Utilities/ directory. After you have launched Disk Utility, navigate from the Disk Utility menu down to "Open Image File" and select your ISO file. The ISO should now appear mounted on the Mac OS desktop. This works for other disk image files too (dmg, img, etc).

Part 2: How to open an ISO file on PC?

For Windows users, if you want to view a data ISO image file on PC, you could also make use of some unarchive apps like WinRAR to open ISO image file on PC. With WinRAR and apps like this, you could easily view the inner content of ISO image file, no mounting, burning or backup required. The detailed steps on how to open ISO image file with WinRAR on PC are listed below:

Download and install WinRAR utility. During installation, make sure you tick the ISO option during setting the "Associate WinRAR with".

Locate the ISO image file you want to open. It would appear in WinRAR form with .iso extension.

Double click the ISO image file to open it. You could then view all the content in the ISO image file.

Important Note: This way although can make you open ISO file on PC, it may cause the ISO image to be unusable when mapping it to a CD/DVD. If you need to use a certain file inside the image, make a copy of it rather than moving it out of the image.

Part 3: Play ISO File on Mac and PC with ISO Player

If you want to play an ISO file on PC/Mac, you can ask help for a 3rd-party ISO player. Free ISO Player software is such a software that can allow people to open, extract and play the ISO content in the files. Apart from this, users can even burn the ISO files and convert them to CDs and DVDs. Therefore, it can be termed as a comprehensive tool that is quite handy.

Part 4: Play ISO File by Converting ISO to MP4

Comparing to the above three ways, this method not only can make you open an ISO file on PC/Mac, but also allows you play ISO with your Windows Media Player or QuickTime on computer. But this still needs the help of the third party software - ISO Converter.

To converting Blu-ray/DVD ISO to MP4 files, Pavtube BDMagic and Pavtube BDMagic for Mac can do the job for you. Numerous popular audio formats from Blu-ray, DVD, ISO image, IFO files, BDMV Folder are supported. It offers easy and effective solutions to convert ISO files from Blu-ray/DVD to H.265, MP4, M3U8, MOV, M4V, WMV, etc; you can even choose which segments to extract. Furthermore, you can preview the video with the built-in player and even take a snapshot of a certain scene. (Review)

Click the format bar to follow “HD Video” ＞ “H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)”. This Blu-ray/DVD ISO Image converter provides rich output audio/video formats suitable for different place, and you’ll find no difficulty playing Blu-ray ISO on the device you own.

Step 4. Convert Blu-ray/DVD ISO to H.264

Convert MKV AAC to AVI File with XviD Video and AC3 audio

MKV is a common format containing multi-track subtitle/audio that the video producer like to use. But sometimes the format can’t be supported by our device So in this case, we need to convert MKV to another format:

“My PVR will happily play avi wrapper with xvid and ac3 inside. I tried to convert .mkv aac files with freemake and the resultant file will not play on my PVR. Presumably I have to start with the characteristics of the files that play and this is in the picture. How do I make sure that my converted files have the same settings?”

It happened to I met a nice MKV converter several days ago that I used it to convert my MKV file to MP4. And I saw that it has AVI format output. I think I can share my experience here to help the guy.
The software I used is Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate(Review). This app is an all-in-one solution to video conversion including MKV to AVI, MP4, MOV, etc and H.265, MP4, AVI, etc to MKV. I said it is an all-in-one solution because it also can rip Blu-ray//DVD to MKV, AVI, MP4, H.265, M3U8, etc.

If you are a Mac user, you should use Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac. This program has updated to support MacOS X El Capitan, Yosemite 10.10/10.9 and Mavericks 10.9.

How to Convert MKV AAC to AVI File with XviD Video and AC3 audio?

Step 1: Add source video

Open the program, click “File” menu, from its drop-down option, select “Add Video/Audio” to add your MKV AAC file to the program.

Step 2: Choose output file format.

From “Format” bar drop-down list, choose “HD Video” > “DivX HD (*.avi)” as output file format.

Step 3: Set video parameter

Click on “Settings” to open settings window. Here you can adjust the video settings. According to the picture above and the target need, you can input “1280*568” in size box,, and choose 23.976 in frame rate box. Then do your audio settings in the right list.

Note: AC3 and AVI is not a good combination. If the number of AC3 frames pr. chunk is not supported by the decoder, audio will not play. You must consider to either convert audio to MP3 and keep AVI as container, or to keep audio as AC3 and change container to MP4. Here, I adjust the audio codec as MP3.

Step 4: Start MKV to AVI conversion

When you finish the settings above, click the big “Convert” button to start converting MKV to AVI format. The conversion will be done in a few minutes, which depends on the loaded movie size and the configuration of your PC.

Look, the step is very easy. This software is easy-to-use just like this. I love it and I think you will love it, too.

Method 1: Play MKV files on Mac El Capitan with VLC 2

No matter what media playback issue you encounter on Mac, I suggest you to try VLC firstly. This application will almost play any video or music file in addition to MKV files. There has been am upgrade to the software with a recent release of VLC 2, and even if you don’t plan on using it to play .mkv movies, it’s a worthwhile app to have on any Mac. Overall it’s a great app and is recommend as one of the best MKV players currently available.

Method 2: Play MKV on Mac El Capitan with Elmedia Player

Elmedia Player which plays MKV and almost any video or audio
format on Mac. Elmedia Player presents lots of options to enjoy

adjustment, etc. In addition to playing local files it offers unique
“Open URL” option which allows watching YouTube videos online from

Perian is a free-source QuickTime addon, which lets QuickTime extend support to a large number of file formats, such as MKV, AVI, DIVX, FLV, GVI, VP6, and more. So if you find your QuickTime player can't play MKV files in Mac, you can install the plug-in to add extra support for playing MKV in QuickTime.

Method 4: Play MKV files on Mac El Capitan with MPlayerX

MPlayerX is not as popular at VLC, but it’s still a highly recommend application that will play MKV audio and video files on a Mac. MPlayerX plays MKV files on Mac like Quicktime with it’s black minimalist theme. This MKV player has a great overall performance and is highly recommend for those who enjoy watching high quality content on their Macs. You can download this app for free from the Mac App Store.

Method 5: Play MKV files on Mac El Capitan by Converting MKV files

Comparing with the former four method, I do suggest you this way. Because it not only can solve the MKV failure playback on Mac El Capitan, but also can make you play your plenty of MKV files on more players like the iPhone 6S, iPad Mini 4 or Surface Pro 4. Here, I'll recommend you Pavtube BDMagic for Mac (review, which enables you to convert an MKV to any popular video format for various players, devices and applications.
