FYI, Windows users can view DVDs in Windows Media Player (assuming you have the codec installed) without having to actually burn a DVD first.
Get ahold of WinRAR (WinZIP may also work, but I haven't tried it) and use it to extract the .iso file. It will create two directories named AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. Go into the VIDEO_TS directory, right-click on the file named VIDEO_TS.IFO and open it in Windows Media Player. You can then watch the movie with sound and all.
If you want to convert the DVD to an .avi file you need a video conversion program. I use ConvertMovie 4.4 which came bundled in with a shareware video editing program that I bought.
