Cill Mheàrnaig Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi folks, I have a bunch of .ISO files that I'd like to convert to mp4 (or equivalent) to be able to use on my TV/Tablet etc. Does anyone know of a good, free, software to do this? Cheers in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Have you tried Handbrake? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Handbrake already installed but when I try it on the .ISO file I get a 'You must scan a source and setup your job before starting an encode' error. I use Handbrake a lot and have never had this problem (although I've never tried it on an .ISO before). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAG Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 .iso or.dmg are disc formats, could be a physical cd/dvd inserted in the machine or a disc image pretending to be a cd/dvd in your computer. mp4 is a video file format. Try "mounting" the .iso disc image on your computer - whatever your looking to convert should be in within this .iso file, but you have to "mount" an .iso image on the machine, just like inserting an actual CD/DVD. Mac's handle "disc image" .iso or .dmg files much more easily than PC's - cos they don't have actual CD drives anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Is Daemon still on the go? ... used that in the past but not sure what is on the laptop nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Aww... Daemon Tools, DVDShrink, IMGBurn, DVDDecrypter... takes me back to the good 'ol days of ripping DVDs from Global and Blockbuster before a myriad of 'release groups' did all the hard work for you. Anyway, Handbrake should be able to open DVD-video ISO files directly. Maybe try and open it via Source->Open File and then browse the mounted ISO to select individual .VOB files. Also, try setting the output; Tools->Options->Output Files and set MP4 File Extension to Always Use MP4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
