I have this movie file that opens Toast whe I click on it.
The info says its a Nero Image File (ISO).
How can I change it in order to watch the film?
Thank you.
 
You don't really have a movie file, there. Rather, what you have is a ISO Disk Image. You have to either "mount" it as a virtual disk, or burn an actual CD or DVD from it in order to see what files are inside it.
 
If it's an image of VCD or something of that sort, I think VLC or MPlayer will be able to play it without burning, mounting or converting.
 
Then use Toast to "mount" the disk image on your desktop, and then use VLC or some appropriate media player for the kinds of files inside of the ISO to play them.
 
The MacOS X built-in DiskImageMounter mounts .iso images by simply double-clicking. No third-party software is necessary.
 
Whe I click on the file Toast pops up with this message:
Toast could not detect format of "blahblahblah.dfdfd.disk.1(VCDfromEOODO)sharelita.com.nrg"
Click Continue if you are certain that it is a valid disc image

the it says it cannot be used because it is not a valid DVD Video image.

I guess I should trash it.
 
Try using "Disk utility" (found in your "Utilities" folder, which is in your "Applications" folder) to "mount" the ISO. If that doesn't work, either, then it sounds like the file is corrupted...

In addition to adambyte's suggestion, you may also click on the .iso. Select File > Get Info. From the Opens with: pop-up menu, chose DiskImageMounter.
