I've tried HandBrakeCLI and for some reason it detects all tracks as 5 seconds and outputs a 2.4mb file from a 29gb ISO. Does this mean they're encrypted?
If it's a 29GB ISO it's definitely not a DVD but likely a BluRay. It may be encrypted/corrupted/not a video. Try MakeMKV next to see if it can decrypt and recognize the chapters.
Does MakeMKV have a command line tool for Linux? I’m trying to do this all through ssh
I believe they do. Their Linux installer link is buried in the forums: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224
They have batch ISO convert CLI for Windows: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=15426
You may need to network share your headless seedbox or whatever you have the ISO on to do this off a linux or Windows machine.
Turns out
makemkvis on AUR so I was able toyay -S makemkvand one of the options was the CLI! After this I was able to runmakemkvcon mkv iso:<file> all <dir>and it seems to be working! Thank you so much for your helpI'm glad I could help! Can you post the CLI command syntax that worked for you to run makemkv to decrypt your ISO? It will help others are trying to figure this out in the future. Or was it just the single makemkvcon command you posted?
Oh, I did in my comment. It was just:
makemkvcon mkv iso:my_file_name.iso all outputDirectory
Note: outputDirectory must exist, it could even just be ./
makemkv will then scan the iso for its chapters, filter out the small ones, convert the large ones to mkv files and output them in your directory you provided. Then I just looked for the biggest one and deleted the smaller ones, the big one ended up being almost the same size as the ISO and was indeed the movie output I was looking for.
Thanks for following up! I'm surprised it just dumped out one mkv file without you having to command a specific chapter to decrypt. It's good to know that you can probably set up a batch file to decrypt everything in a whole directory!
Well the all parameter had it convert all the ones big enough, I ended up with 3 then just paired it down to the one I cared about.
Thank you kind sailor!
Here are makemkvcon syntax parameters for you to try: https://bluray.beandog.org/makemkv/man/makemkvcon.html
