.ISO Compatibility Only with TVisto can you create your own Virtual DVD Library by storing your private
collection of DVDs (.ISO format) and watch them as if they were running from the original
DVDs.
Once the movies are stored in TVisto as .ISO files, you can play them just like an original
DVD with full DVD functions: Menu, Chapter selection, Audio stream selection, Subtitle
selection, Fast Forward, Fast Backward, Slow, Pause, Step Forward, Repeat and Search are
all included.
An ISO file is the image file on a DVD disk. ISO image files are widely used to store, then
transfer DVD contents through the Internet. ISO is a common DVD image format for DOS,
Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and other operating systems. TVisto can play the .ISO file exactly
the same as if it was running from the original DVD.
The produced files are huge in
size, but this is not a limitation
for TVisto. As already
mentioned, TVisto supports any
of the FAT32, NTFS or HFS+
file systems. Note: The largest
single file size on FAT32 is
4GB! If your ISO is bigger
then that, you will have to
format your hard drive using
a different format.
The adjacent figure depicts
various .ISO movies that have been produced in less than 12 min each.

XviD is an ISO MPEG-4 compliant video codec. It is not a product; it is an open source
project which is developed and maintained by groups of people all over the world.
TVisto is fully compatible with XviD format and can play any movie encoded with this
compression format except files encoded using GMC or Qpel.
