Ember is a media manager with many XBMC specific features. But as someone else mentioned, it has YAMJ specific features as well. It's not entirely specific to XBMC.

I have over 400 DVDs backed up to ISO files on my server. Converting them to MKVs would be extremely time consuming to say the least. It'd be much quicker to just add the Meta Data to the NFO manually. There's also the benefit to ISOs of being able to very quickly and easily burn them with a simple double click from any Windows 7 computer which would be lost if they were MKVs. For me, the time and effort to convert them coupled with the loss benefits of having DVDs in ISO format aren't worth the small added benefit of easier meta data collection.
Instead of simply telling someone to do it, maybe you could actually give an intelligent answer as to why they might want to choose to do so.
In answer to the original question so poorly answered, the newer versions of mediainfo, which is what pulls the meta data automatically from media files, does not support ISO files. Ember has an addon to use an older version which does support them, but it's not very reliable and still doesn't work at all on many files and often returns inaccurate data when it does pull something.
Which pretty much makes your choices:
- Try the addon and hope it works to your satsfaction
- Hope Mediainfo re-adds support for ISOs in the future and either add the Metadata manually or live without it until then.
- Unpack your ISOs (WinRar is capable of doing it) and scrape the unpacked files
- Convert your files to a format that mediainfo supports.
I personally used global search and replace to add some generic DVD metadata to the NFOs for my DVD movies that are in ISO format.
Since my Bluray collection is still relatively small, I rip those to MKVs as I obtain them since XBMC can't play them as ISOs anyway and mediainfo handles those without a problem.

Ember is a niche program with niche features. You could always just use the scrapers built into your media center if you don't need those niche features.
There's many features in Ember (and XBMC for that matter) that I don't use, but that doesn't make them useless for those who need them nor does it make the posts they were added in response to illegitimate just because they aren't useful to me or you. It's up to the Ember developers to decide if a feature request is legitimate or not.
, im just asking if there is an easier way to delete "MPAA Rating Descriptions" in my movies, like delete a file so when it scrapes it wont scrape "MPAA Rating Descriptions".
