Does anyone know of a digital player or Android app that supports DVD ISOs to include the menus and chapters? I've found quite a few that can handle BD and UHD ISOs but any that support DVD ISOs are janky at best. I have a large number of DVDs I want to back up and not convert them to MKVs because I want the menus and extras too.

VLC claims to do just that: "It can play any video and audio files, network streams and DVD ISOs"

Is there anything that VLC can't play?

It can't play games with your heart. You'll always know exactly where it stands

I've definitely used VLC to play DVD isos on PC, so there's a pretty good chance it works on the android version too

I can also vouch for VLC to somewhat work, but it is pretty flaky and might need some finesse to work very well.

My experience has been to just rip all the titles using MakeMKV and load the extras into Jellyfin into a /Extras directory. That way I can watch the special features, but I lose the DVD menus, which can sometimes be a good thing with forced previews and FBI warnings and whatnot.
