ISO files are "images" (a archived copy) of CD or DVD media (wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image)). (related VEF thread on: VIDEO_TS folders (http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/showthread.php?t=106033))
ISO files can be handled by many programs, they can be burned, mounted, extracted and in case of video DVD ISO's they can be played by a few media players.

Will focus here on the programs needed to view video DVD ISO files on your computer (1) and to burn ISO files back to disc (2). Included is a small guide on how to burn ISO files using ImgBurn (3).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Play video DVD ISO on your computer | best suited for this imo is VLC Player, it can open and play back DVD's in ISO format without problems. Just "drag & drop" the ISO file on VLC players program window when its opened.
VLC player (9 up to 30 MB, depends on the OS)

System requirements: Windows All, Mac OS X, Linux, etc.
100% Freeware | Website (http://www.videolan.org/) | Download (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)
Note that VLC works with skins, i use the WMP11 skin as shown on the screens above. You can still find it and several other skins on this official VLC page: Skins (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Burn ISO | by writing a ISO file back to CD/DVD you will get a duplicate of the disc where the image was made of. All burning programs, like Nero Burning ROM, will be able to burn ISO files, when you do not have a burning program and are on Windows OS then ImgBurn is a good freeware alternative.
ImgBurn (2 MB)
