Topic of this post is about how to play ISO files on Popcorn Hour A-500 Pro Media Player without Blu-ray player as long as you convert Blu-ray ISO to Popcorn Hour friendly format.
Cloud Media have made available a new addition to their range of media players with the launch of the Popcorn Hour A-500 Pro. Which is powered by a Sigma Designs SMP8758 processor offering 2x Cortex-A9 cores @ 1.2GHz. The A-500 Pro processor is combined with Mali-400 MP4 graphics and supports HEVC decode and VXP, together with 2GB DDR3 RAM. If you have an .iso image file create from ImgBurn, Disk Utility, or download the ISO/IFO file from online websites, you can burn it to a disk or play it on computers, but don't expect to stream Popcorn Hour A-500 Pro Media Player, as it's not a streaming media format and you can see it's not a Popcorn Hour Media Player frinedly format.
In case that your Blu-ray and DVD ISO files are not viewable on Popcorn Hour A-500 Pro Media Player, you'd better convert your iso to Media Player supported format for playing. This can be done by Pavtube ByteCopy which is ease of use with reasonable price and fast speed. Probably the main feature is multi-track preservation which means you can backup your Blu-ray/DVD to lossless mkv files with all multiple audio and subtitle tracks, and chapter markers keeping. I am a home user and I have a Popcorn Hour A-500 Pro Media Player, and I only choose ByteCopy to rip my Blu-ray, DVD, IFO files and store the rip versions on a hard drive for easy viewing on HDTV. Here is the reivew.
Now go to try the trial version to experience what it can do for you. Here let me show you how to convert Blu-ray to HD MP4 format for Popcorn Hour A-500 Pro Media Player step by step.
