I have a copy of Hitchhiker's Guide that is a .iso file type.

I am able to load it on a few media players that I have (including win media player, core, even win classic) - video plays just fine, but there is no audio (the file does have it though - I can see the audio visually, on player's the spectrum analyzer [or whatever you call it])

Which codec do I need for this?

iso is a disc image.

If its a DVD size iso (4+gb) : Use Alcohol120 or Daemon tools to mount it on a virtual drive.. Then play it using your favorite DVD player. I like winDVD.

If its around 700mb : Mount it the same way, then go on that drive an play it like you normally would play an AVI (or similar) filetype.

would either of those allow me to extract the avi file?

I just use DVD Decrypter. It's free and a pretty powerful burning tool. I don't even bother with virtual drives...just burn the fucker and watch it on your TV.

Shit...I knew it was out of development, but I didn't know it'd be hard to get ahold of. Try this link:

umm, guys.. If the image file contains an AVI, then it probably wont play on a standard DVD player, unless it supports DIVX or other compressed formats..

I kinda thought of that...
Either way, it does play fine in my dvd player, so I guess it wasnt a compressed file.

There's probably a program out there that would covert a .iso file to avi, but why would would you want to convert it? A .iso file is a perfect copy...avi files are compressed and lose quality.
