I have a Mac Mini home server and I am finally getting around to archiving all my physical media. The thing simply dies if it encounters an error, and for all I know it might not work at all on other people's systems, but I figured I put it out here, just in case. When I get around to it, I can rename the files in "Other" to be more informative, or delete them if they're crap.

nd-extras/ installed, scanning the library will almost pick the proper file as the movie, and the remaining files as "extras". This works well for me: As long as the original ISO filenames are reasonable and I have. When you run the script you select the ISO files of interest and it puts the largest resulting MKV file into "MKVs/diskname", the others into "MKVs/diskname/Other", and moves the original ISO file into "Converted for Plex". It assumes that you have your ISO files in a folder that also contains a folder called "MKVs" (where the results will go) and another called "Converted for Plex". It's not fancy or robust, perhaps more of a starting point for others.

It wasn't clear to me that there was a good way to convert a bunch of ISO files to MKVs in a way that works well for Plex on Mac, so I created the attached Automator workflow.
