I've tried finding a solution to my problem - unfortunately without luck. I've just installed Plex Media Server and are loving in! However, it can't play the 100 ISO-files with my DVD-movies that I ripped years ago. Is there any way to convert these ISO's to MKV in a batch - including the multiple languages and subtitles? I just want a 1:1 conversion of each ISO.
I doesn't matter if it's going to be in Windows or Linux. I got both - but I'll need a step-by-step guide if it's going to be in Linux. I tried VidCoder for Windows, but unfortunately it won't transfer more than one language and no subtitles at all when batch-converting. :-/

What happens if you mount the .iso file, and then open that as if it were an actual dvd disk? Would your player/server see it as a dvd video disk & play it?
I haven't tried recently, but I think I remember the options...
mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/pointSee the man pages for mount & losetup for more info.
Would be convenient to have some way to "click to mount" each .iso file, I'm not familiar with Plex but I think it's pretty flexible... Maybe a script or an action or something?
3Maybe HandBrake will work here? It can read ISOs, and will convert to MKV with audio and subs - and also has a batch mode.
Both MakeMKV and ByteCopy work on Windows. I don't have a review on both but both are easy to use, you may google for the instructions. Handbrake is mainly designed for converting digital media files, it will not convert protected discs though. So Handbrake may not work well if your ISI's are still under commercial protection.
