Watch DVD WITH Menus from Hard Drive and USB Stick

[Squirl1899]

I want to be able to play a DVD (Blu-Ray and AVCHD) that I created on my laptop and netbook INCLUDING the menus. I have both the ISO file and the BDMV of the FULL DVD including menus. I have tried VLC, Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center but they just play the files and don't show the menus. I worked a LONG time on the menus and transitions from the menus to the movies so I REALLY want to be able to show off that aspect of it when I am doing a presentation. I have searched and searched but haven't found anything that will allow me to play the entire DVD just like if I inserted it into a DVD player. I know I can convert it to mkv or ther formats to be able to paly the combined vdeos but that is not what I am looking to do. I am strictly looking for a solution to open up the AVCHD or BluRay ISO or folder on the hard drive or USB stick and have it act JUST LIKE I inserted a DVD into an actual DVD player. If anyone knows of anything, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help.

did you try vlc file/open folder?

That works for the video_ts but not for the BDMV AVCHD folder. U really want the high res version.

really want the high res version.

Then stop asking about a DVD.

I'm pretty sure TMT supports bdmv folders. No free player has full menu support.

Thanks for the help Hech...i will edit my post to reflect the correct media terminology, I figured you could extrapolate that the BDMV and AVCHD meant bluray/hi def player/hi def content. I was using the term DVD as an example of the type of player, not the type of medium since I was typing on my cell and dvd player was easier than correcting autocomplete when I typed bluray. I was just trying to clarify that I wanted it (the hi def content) to act "as if" I had inserted a hi-def disc into a compatible hi-def player. Please forgive me your highness and thanks again for the constructive criticism.

Baldrick, thank you for that information, I didn't realize there weren't any free players, I will look into tmt. Thanks again for the help.
