I have been using Slysoft's Virtual CloneDrive SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive for a longtime now. A simple, no-frills and reliable driver that does not muck up the system in anyway.
Coupled with mikinho's Mount Image Mikinho | Mount Image which adds the ISOs to the media library, it mounts and plays the ISOs in W7MC. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit

Daemon Tools Lite is king. It's simple and I've never encountered a single bug. Possibly my favorite application overall in years.
Also if it's only movies then VLC Media Player will play them, and just about anything else, perfectly. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Customized
