What playback interface/software will allow the playback of ISO files with menu support? I know that you can mount with Daemon tools and play with TMT3 or PDVD, but is there one that does automatic mounting so that you flip through your movies on a media center catalog and just select that ISO to play.

Is there one that does automatic mounting?

What remote is good for that software?
 
I think there is an addon to use ISO files and mount automatically with dameon tools if you used media browser in Windows Media Center. I haven't tried it out, but it would be nifty for dvd/bluray rips.

As for a remote, I personally use one that I got with the nero live essentials tivo package that came with a haupage hd usb tuner for $25. I had to use a program to remap the keys but it works well. I would imagine any MCE win 7 remote with usb ir adapter shoudl work fine in media center. Or if you want to be fancy you could always just get the usb ir adapter and program a Logitec Harmony to do the job.
 
I'm using Win 7 MCE + Media Browser + Daemon Tools. Works great, full menu support. Even works over an extender.....
 
i use Virtual CloneDrive from slysoft to mount iso, then i use TotalMedia Theatre to play blu-ray, it is a plug in for win7 MCE. :)
 
I checked out Media Browser. It can playback ISO files with automounting from Daemon Tools through WMC. I am still waiting on a remote control in the mail to see if it can be remote control operated.

The only problem that I ran into is that it won't get local metadata for ISO files. Is there anyway around this? Or is there another program that is similar to Media Browser (which has automounting for ISO files and can be remote controlled) but fixes this problem?

Is this something Popcorn C-200 can do if I manually upload all the metadata and pics and backdrops?
 
I have used it with a remote and it works great.

What do you mean it won't get local meta data for ISO files?

If you arrange your media like this, it should handle grabbing metadata from the web.

The MediaInfo plugin handles supplemental manual xml data for all file formats.
 
I figured out how to get local meta data to show up in media browser and the remote control works great for everything. Thanks for all the help.
