Play ISO file on new iPad 2017/iPad 5/iPad Pro Mini/iPad Mini5
I am trying to find an app for my iPad that can play .ISO files that have been ripped from a dvd. I am not interested in reencoding them to x264 or anything using handbrake, only looking to play the file in its most lossless form with DVD menus if possible. The iPad is jailbroken so if there are no other alternatives it is possible for me to load 3rd party apps through Cydia if there are any that can do the job. Thank you for your time and insight.
Update: VLC for iOS is unable to play ISO files due to issues with audio codecs used in DVDs
