Why doesn't everyone upload .ISOs instead of those stupid VTS_folders with all those .vobs? I recently downloaded the fanfiltration of Dune, only to have to delete it because it wasn't an .iso & i couldn't find a program to burn it with. Seriously, why can't everyone just upload .ISO (???)
Because, if it's a torrent, it's easier to DL part of a VOB and quickly determine quality. Or snarf the extras first (they're usually a separate, smaller VOB). And because "fake"-makers always post in ISO because they want you to waste the maximum amount of time and bandwidth before discovering that you've been hosed.

For PC, ImgTool is a handy utility for generating ISOs from subdirectories. Nero has no trouble with them at all (no arcane monkey-business whatsoever), and I can also drag-n-drop them onto VLC Media Player to see if all the menus are working properly.
