    Naming convention for .iso containing multiple movies

    I'm an .iso guy. I have a few hundred movies to rip and backup, so I like to keep my process as simple as I can by ripping everything as .iso. I also prefer to preserve the menus and stuff, even though my player of choice doesn't support them currently.

    With that said, I have quite a few blu-rays that contain multiple movies on a single disc. In the docs, I see naming conventions for movies that are split over multiple discs/parts, but I don't see anything when for when there's one disc, but multiple movies.

    If I rip these as .iso, what would the file naming convention be for them? If there even is one.

    For example, Arrow's Ringo release contains A Pistol for Ringo and The Return of Ringo on the same disc. So if I rip the whole disc as-is, is there a way I can name it, so both films show in my collection even though they are part of the same .iso?

    Whatever ISO support present in Jellyfin is an unintended consequence of ffmpeg, ffprobe, and various other components supporting some aspects of ISO playback. But Jellyfin does not officially support ISOs. None of the official clients support menus.

    And multi-movie ISOs are not supported. Only the main title will be played.

    Ripping to BDMVs or VIDEOTS folders are recommended over ISO.

    Whether it's a BDMV or an ISO, don't I still have the same issue with naming convention for a multi-movie disc? What do I name the folder that contains the multi-movie BDMV?

    For what it's worth, I don't use Jellyfin to play movies, only to manage them and retrieve metadata for them. I use Infuse Video Player on all my Apple TVs for playing the media, so even though ISOs aren't explicitly supported, I'm only interested in how to name a file and/or folder that contains more than one movie, so the appropriate meta data is grabbed.

    Multiple, distinct, movies in the same folder are not supported. Regardless of format.
