    echo Converting %%i ...
    extract-xiso -r "%%i" "Converted_XISOs\%%~ni.xiso"

echo Done!
pause

Avoid: Generic "AnyToISO" or "PowerISO" – these do not understand the XDVDFS file system.

What follows is a concise, engaging, and authoritative look at converting ISO to XISO: what it is, why it matters, how it’s done, common pitfalls, and practical tips. I assume "ISO" means a standard disc image (ISO 9660 / DVD/BD image) and "XISO" refers to an Xbox-compatible ISO container or the XISO format used by some Xbox tools and emulators. If you meant a different ISO/XISO pair, the core concepts below still apply; adjust file targets accordingly.
