Hi,

 

I have quite a large collection of Movies & TV Shows that I originally stored in .iso format.

For one reason or another I now want to revert to folders with .vobs etc.

 

Is there a way I can unrar/unpack the .iso on the server?

At the mo' I've been copying the .iso files to a local machine, using winrar to unpack them before sending back to the server  :'(

 

...I know you can mount an .iso but I was hoping for a way to do a batch at a time.

 

 

Thanks for any help on offer!

I have a windows script that does just what you are asking.  I'll post it when I get home this afternoon.

Its certainly not pretty, but it works very well for me.

 

Download MagicISO (http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm) and TeraCopy (http://www.codesector.com/files/teracopy.exe). You could just use xcopy or robocopy, but I like TeraCopy.

 

You can download the two attachments or

 

Create a file called _RUN.BAT and copy the following to it:

@echo off

 

rem Location of ISO files

set ISOPATH=\\tower\ISO

 

 

rem Makes sure there are no virtual DVDs running

miso NULL -sdrv 0

 

 

rem Enables one virtual DVD drive

miso NULL -sdrv 1

 

 

rem Ensures that virtual DVD drive is always same letter. In this case it is Q:

For /F "tokens=4 delims=(,) " %%a in ('miso NULL -vlist^|find "[1]"') do Set VCD=%%a

@ECHO select volume %VCD% > %TEMP%\ChangeCDDrive.txt

@ECHO assign letter=Q >> %TEMP%\ChangeCDDrive.txt

@ECHO exit >> %TEMP%\ChangeCDDrive.txt

Diskpart /S %TEMP%\ChangeCDDrive.txt

Del %TEMP%\ChangeCDDrive.txt /Q

 

 

rem Launches a seperate window that displays all your .ISO's so you can copy and paste

cmd /c start dir /b %ISOPATH%\*.iso

 

 

rem Add all the ISOs you copied in the previous step to the dvd.txt file, save and close.

NOTEPAD.EXE dvds.txt

 

 

rem Starts the copy

for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%d in (dvds.txt) do call extractISO.bat %%d %%e

 

 

rem Disables the virtual DVD drive

miso NULL -sdrv 0

 

 

 

 

Create a file called extractISO.BAT and copy the following to it:

 

rem Set variables

set LABEL=

set DVDDRIVE=Q

set ISOPATH=\\tower\ISO

set MOVIESPATH=\\tower\movies

 

 

rem Mount DVD ISO in virtual drive

miso NULL -mnt %DVDDRIVE%: "%ISOPATH%\%1"

 

 

rem Retrieve DVD volume label

for /f "tokens=5*" %%l in ('2^>nul vol %DVDDRIVE%:^|find /v /i "Volume Serial Number is"^|find /v /i "has no label"') do set LABEL=%%m

 

 

rem Create directory for movie

md "%MOVIESPATH%\%LABEL%"

 

 

rem Copy movie with TeraCopy

"C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\teracopy.exe" Copy %DVDDRIVE%: "%MOVIESPATH%\%LABEL%"

 

 

rem Unmount ISO from Virtual drive

miso NULL -umnt %DVDDRIVE%:

 

 

rem Five second pause before continuing in case unmounting takes a few seconds

ping localhost -n 5 >nul

 

 

 

Place these files in a folder.  Edit _RUN.BAT to set the path to your ISO files.  Edit extractISO.bat to set the path to your ISO files and the path to your Movies directory (e.g. \\tower\movies).

 

Double-click _RUN.BAT, copy the listing (or a portion of...this is why I just dont list the whole dir to the text file) of .ISO to the DVD.TXT file, save and exit. It will then loop through. In my environment, it takes 2-4 minutes per DVD.  Once that completes, I run My Movies against that share to update all the covers/metadata.

 

I hope you find this useful.  If anyone wants to clean this up, have at it! 

 

 

Nice one!  Thanks a lot for this.

 

I will give it a whirl when I get back later.

 

 

Doesnt 7zip support ISO. If so just install that on unraid.

I get 3-4x the speed with my method than with 7zip, alzip, winrar, etc.

Here is a quick one (tested):

 

[ $# -ne 2 ] && { echo "Usage: `basename $0` <input dir> <output dir>"; exit 1; }

 

INPUT_DIR="$1"

OUTPUT_DIR="$2"

 

 

[ -d "$OUTPUT_DIR" ] || mkdir -p "$OUTPUT_DIR"

 

LOOPBACK_MNT_DIR=/mnt/tmp

[ -d "$LOOPBACK_MNT_DIR" ] || mkdir -p "$LOOPBACK_MNT_DIR"

 

 

IFS='

'

for i in `find "$INPUT_DIR" -type f -iname '*.iso'`

do

mount -o loop -t iso9660 "$i" "$LOOPBACK_MNT_DIR"

OUTPUT_DIR_VOB="${OUTPUT_DIR}/$(basename "$i" .iso)"

[ -d "$OUTPUT_DIR_VOB" ] || mkdir -p "$OUTPUT_DIR_VOB"

cp -ax "$LOOPBACK_MNT_DIR"/. "$OUTPUT_DIR_VOB" || echo "Failed to copy $i" && \

echo "$i successfully copied under $OUTPUT_DIR_VOB"

umount "$LOOPBACK_MNT_DIR"

done

 

rmdir "$LOOPBACK_MNT_DIR"

 

 

Sorry, just realized Linux mount converts all named to lower case.

I don't know how to work around this problem, except rename them after the copying.

Attached is the final version that will do the renaming.
