What to do with ISOs?

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?

Assuming the .iso file is a DVD/Bluray image: Open the file in MakeMKV. Select the tracks you want, and it will…make a MKV file out of it. That should be fine for Plex.

I'm doing this through a terminal, no GUI tools

eac3to to demux video and audio, mkvtoolnix or mkvmerge to remux to mkv. edit: You need to extract the dirs from the iso first though, you can use something like 7-zip for that though.
