PDVD 14 and MBT with ISO

[TrackZ 16]

Has anyone been able to get PDVD working as an external player in MBT for ISO files? If so,could you post settings? I haven't revisited this in a while, but struggled with it some time ago.

 

The internal mounting approach didn't seem to work for PDVD with ISOs. Any chance we well we could see an option do for allowing an external mounter or using the internal mounter to mount to a drive letter so windows auto play can trigger PDVD?

Following up my own post. I played with this some more tonight. PDVD 14 launches fine for files. It can even get launched for ISO files, but it won't play them. PDVD needs a base drive letter and MBT only mounts internally.

 

I was working off these command line lists for PDVD:

Using this media player path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD14\PDVDLP.exe

 

And this command line arguments:

AUTOPLAY {PATH}

 

With ISO set to mount.

 

Can we please, please get driver letter ISO mounting or external mounters in MBT?

One more follow-up. I figured I'd try out folder structures vs. ISO files. Those do work. Only needed to put "{PATH}" in the argument list and BD folders worked perfectly in MBT. That goes for 2D and 3D BD folders as well.

 

The only downside to using folder structures for 3D BD is that is bumps up the storage requirements significantly because of how the 3D stream is configured in an ISO vs. a folder. Men in Black 3 in 3D, for example, is a 48GB ISO, but it's 91GB as a folder structure.

Try an external mounter if possible.

Another option (time consuming) is to convert to MKV w/o menus
