I just got into usenet and some of the files downloaded are ISOs. I’m trying to figure out the best way to convert them to mp4s so that I can play them through plex. I’m running on a headless arch server (Manjaro), and I’d prefer to keep the conversion there if possible.

Anyone have experience with this?

I was so confused because all my isos are of operating systems

I know you're joking, but actually most ISOs I have are actually operating systems or games. I've never seen a normal movie release as an ISO, except maybe 1:1 copies of retail disks.

Radarr seems to love finding blu-ray quality movies as ISOs

Add ISO to the extension blacklist in SAB so that the download fails and Radarr tries a different one.

If they are backups, rather name them .img.
