I use Daemon tools:
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/ ... 6e3139532b

Basically you instal Daemon....then when you run it...it will appear as an icon next to the system clock.....then right click....click mount image....select the .img file you're referring to.

After you do this either:
1.) The movie will start playing
2.) You need to go into windows explorer and browse to the virutal CD drive that Daemon tools has created for your image...and double click that CD drive.

I looked at Daemon tools, it didn't have .img as one of the supported file types... Prolly would have done it anyway...

most likely...many torrent sites have reviews of the file within the place it's located online...check there...maybe someone commented on that
