File Formats
Following is an introduction to some of the file formats, which are supported by the Box
Office media player.
.ISO
Only with the Box Office
can you create your own virtual DVD library by
storing your private collection of DVDs (using the .ISO format) and watch
them as if they were running from the original DVDs.
Once the movies are stored on the Box Office media player 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. The Box Office media player 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 the Box Office,
as it 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
than that, you will have to
format your hard drive
using NTFS or HFS+.
The adjacent figure depicts various .ISO movies that have been produced in less than 12
min each.
