I'm pretty certain the two options I can think of are just front-ends for ffmpeg: Handbrake and Tdarr, Tdarr runs as a service and monitors your folder for things that don't match spec and then converts them, if you plan to continue acquiring ISOs.
Tdarr looks great, but I don't love Foss software which have paid plans attached. Can it be used really for free if I have one server and plan to do all transcoding there?
Yes. I believe the paid version only gives you more possible nodes (where the transcoding is done), and more reports? But yes, you have the entire suite of tools necessary in the free version. It's worked great for me, I've used it for a year and a half now
Great point about paid plans. I didn't look closely at the project today - they didn't have any paid plans when I was first trying it in 2020 (and ultimately decided downloading the preferred source was good enough and abandoned trans-coding).
This is a more script based solution I've tried in the past for ongoing ISOs with decent results. Good luck!
