IsoToMKV - Converting ISO files the easy and fast way.

A PowerShell script that can convert the "old" beloved ISO format to MKV. This script only needs two types of input - where you have your current ISO's and where you want the script to export them.

This means that if you have all your ISO files in a folder, then IsoToMKV can automatically convert all of them. Which menas that you avoid having to do them all manually.

IsoToMKV uses MakeMKV that are a licensed software to do this.

Prerequisites

  1. PowerShell 2.0 or higher
  2. MakeMKV in a licensed / beta version. You can find MakeMKV here: https://www.makemkv.com/
  3. A little bit of brain to understand the script

What this script does

  1. Checks for ISO-files in the $MakeMKVLocation parameter: No subdirectories are being checked. Making MKV look for Titles over the $MinLength parameter
  2. Converting them to MKV to the destination ($ExportLocation)
  3. Renaming title_t00 to the file name of the ISO.
  4. Will create sub folders for each MKV if the $CreateSubFolders is $true

All actions are logged in a file named: IsoToMKV-timestamp.txt that are placed the same place as the script.

How to use:

Open the script and change these two variables: $MakeMKVLocation and $ExportLocation The $MakeMKVLocation is where your ISO's is right now. And they need to be in the root of that directory, they can't be in subdirectories. $ExportLocation is where you want the converted versions to be. I recommend two different paths for example:

$MakeMKVLocation = "C:\Users\$env:username\Desktop\MyMovies"
$ExportLocation = "C:\Users\$env:username\Desktop\MyExportedMovies"

Disclaimer:

  1. I'm not a part of the MakeMKV Team and therefore don't own any rights to their software. I recommend going to their community website for help. You can support MakeMKV by buying their software here: https://www.makemkv.com/buy/
  2. I do not support this script, but you are more than welcome to make an issue and maybe I'll look into it.
