MKV Rewrap for use in FCPX

Handbrake goes to mp4

I don’t think Handbrake can circumvent AACS. I work with actors who are in films and shows and their sources are commercial discs.

Not directly, no. There’s some other steps involved to get Handbrake to hook up to the BluRay material for decryption, but in my opinion would be well worth it.

Hi,

I recently had to rip a BluRay using MakeMKV to get that MKV.

Well, since I was active at some time on MacRumors, wonderful place for negativity, I remembered a small tool Calle Video Container Switcher, programmed by kind user, which could do things like ClipWrap, just for free though. It hasn’t been updated since 2015, but it worked for me to get a workable MOV file, which I then transcoded to ProRes 422 in Compressor for a future project, though FCP X does not have a problem with that H.264 MOV either.

Have a look at this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/small-tool-to-convert-video-containers-without-reencoding.1433969/

If the Apple Prores files is too large, you can transcode the MKV files to Apple Prores 422 Proxy or Apple Prores 422 (LT) format with small resolution for great playback performance in Final Cut Pro X.
