I just got into usenet and some of the files downloaded are ISOs. I’m trying to figure out the best way to convert them to mp4s so that I can play them through plex. I’m running on a headless arch server (Manjaro), and I’d prefer to keep the conversion there if possible.

Anyone have experience with this?

    I’d like to recommend using DVDFab for converting your ISO files to MP4 format. It’s available on Linux, including your Manjaro setup. If you encounter any issues with encrypted DVDs, you might also need to consider tools like MakeMKV for decryption. Just keep in mind that MakeMKV is typically used to extract the video without compression, so you can then use DVDFab HD Decrypter afterward to convert to MP4 if needed.

    I’d like to recommend you some freeware like handbrake and makemkv. But if you DVDs are copy protected, you’ll need to try some other free tools like Free DVD Decrypter and dvdfab hd decrypter.
