Right-click an ISO file on your hard drive,
select either "Mount" if it is offered at the top
of the list. If not offered, the alternative is to "Open With: File Explorer"
Opening with file Explorer, Explorer knows it is a .ISO
and so it mounts the ISO as if it was a virtual DVD drive.
Complete with Eject capability. Certain kinds of discs have
a relatively standard format, which is why these things
open for us.
The result is a virtual DVD drive. There is a video_ts folder
and there are .vob files inside. Each .vob is a chapter.
VLC will play a chapter, if the chapter is unencrypted.

This means you can store a series of .ISO files in a flat directory
if you want, on your USB stick, at 7GB or so each. You don't absolutely
have to unpack them and store a mess of VOBs all over the place.
It's a lot of unnecessary work, to post-process a "ripped" (DeCSS)
DVD image if properly done. I only own one Hollywood DVD, which you see in the
example, and using DeCSS in Linux, I was able to "rip" the DVD and
remove the crypto from the ISO. BluRay discs are another matter entirely.
Don't know a thing about those. Don't own one either :-)
E: \
movie1.iso \
movie2.iso \___ A USB stick with four unencrypted ISO on it.
movie3.iso /
movie4.iso /
If a Hollywood DVD has "weak sector" protection, that can
allow it to play in a "Set Top Box" DVD player, but not in
a computer DVD drive. "Ripping" the media with the right
tool, will restore the viewing rights to the recipient.
The Set Top Box players, ignore certain info on the DVD,
and the manufacturers took advantage of the sensitivity
of computer DVD setups, versus the lax Set Top Box player.
Scroll down here, to see a variety of ripper tools.
There is a *big difference in quality* in these tools.
Some of them are famous for their ability to solve problems.
The one which is just a copy of DeCSS would be a weak sauce
by comparison, as DeCSS is only part of the story, and typical
users want a "full service" ripper that solves all problems.

That's the problem with a videohelp link -- the users forget to scroll
down, as the answer is always under the screen. I made this mistake
*multiple times* before I discovered I was supposed to be scrolling
down when people gave me links there :-) Just passing on the warning.
