Are you sure they are not older video formats like .AVI? ISO is really an archive format rather than a video format. If he actually has one or more video files inside an ISO container (not sure why one would do this), you will want a program like Ultra ISO or Magic ISO, or any other tool that will let you extract or copy individual files out of the ISO container file. In a way, it can act much like a zip file. Except, normally, it provides no compression. It is most useful to exactly mimick the structure of a CD, including a boot sector. It does not mimick DVD movie disks, however.

Yes.  My ex-husband gave me an external hard drive containing two folders.
One labeled MP4's, which held movies.  The other folder was called "my
iso's", and was filled with ISO files of other movies.  As they are now, I
can't play them, or really do anything with them.  As I said, I looked up
how to convert them, and I found tons of programs, as well as tutorials, but
haven't been able to make them work with JAWS.  The only reason I care is
that some of them are movies my kids would like me to put on their mp3
players.
Warmly,
Melissa

Melissa, do these files in fact have a .iso extension?

this is very possible, but I haven't had success working with the

I was only hoping someone had already found an easier way.  I
apologize for causing any confusion or frustration.

Mellissa, frankly, you're comparing apples & oranges here. ISO files
are "image" files that are burned to a cd. MP4 are video files. So,
what is it that u really want to do? What do u currently have, & what
do u want to have?

Isn't ISO still like a kinda archive? That's as if you wanted to
convert ZIP into MP3 or something ;) So whatever files will be only
inside
the archive.

Try googling for format factory. You have to route jaws to pc for 99%
of the way but its duable.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Converting ISO files to mp4's

Good morning everyone.  I am looking for an accessible method for
converting ISO files to mp4's, or some other very accessible video
format.  I have done a Google search, and tried several of the
programs that came up in that search, but they were inaccessible with
JAWS 12.  I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, with JAWS 12, latest update
release.  I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Warmly,
Melissa
