transcode iso files

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a big collection DVD in iso files. What's the best way to stream to my iPad?

(I know that, normally, I have to transcode them to other format, e.g. H.264, to use AirVideo or something like that. Is any way I can transcode on the fly while streaming to iPad.)

I tried Handbrake. The problem is most of my DVD of educational materials containing chapters/lectures. The Handbrake treat each of those as an individual title and put them in different files.

I want to be able to batch transcoding, one disc into one file.....and batch can be set up do many iso file one after another.

If that's your only requirement, can you use vlc player for ipad to play the iso file? should work I think.

If you want to convert them to mp4, I'm sure someone has a batch file thing around here somewhere.

i don't want to put iso on my ipad. All the iso files (large number) are on an external network drive. I don't want to them to be put in iTunes library, which will make the iTunes library unmanageably large.

I don't think VLC can access networked drive or computer....

hope someone can help me.
