I downloaded this hoping that for now, I can play it on my computer, and eventually, when I get a PS3, I can play it on that.  I tried to mount the .iso into Alcohol 120%, which should create a new virtual drive and let me access the files in the iso, but when I click on the new virtual drive, all I get is a windows box saying: "Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with windows."

I have checked google, and a few others also seem to have an issue with accessing AVCHD files on thier computers, with the same error message. Can't find a solution, though. I understand I will need software that will play this file, but windows should at least let me see the file there. I have mistakenly downloaded mac files before, and of course Windows didn't know what to do with it, but I could see the file on my computer. Alcohol has always worked for me before when mounting iso files. I don't want to burn this to a DL DVD, and still have my computer not read it. As far as Windows knows, there is a burned DVD now in my virtual drive, so if I burn it to DVD and physically put it into my dvd drive, the same error message would likely come up. Anybody have any ideas?

I did see the sample video in .ts format, though, and it looked fantastic. Nice to see the color correction applied, Adywan. I have wanted to see the original in HD, but didn't think I could deal with that horrible blue cast. My preferred version will always be Revisited, though.
