• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.

Okay, Ive spent the whole day converting video, opening FCP and opening FCP only for it to failerat so low quality it might as well be chicken sctratches.

What I am looking for is a straight MKV converter that will convert my MKV anime episodes into something that works with FCP. now, I want HD. I've had my days making AMV's with SD in windows movie maker and I'm done with that. This one i want high quality, crisp video.\

Please, I am frusterated DO NOT send me to links to download free trial's, or paid ones. Ive spent enough money on the mac and all these fancy programs for college. the program can be windows or mac as I have both.

I also welcome my self to the Mac-Forums

Depending on how the video is encoded in the MKV container, you may be able to simply remux it into an M4V container losslessly. MP4Tools is great for this. Just use the video passthrough option and the same for audio (unless it is DTS audio). Re-muxing takes a minute or so, versus a couple hours or more to transcode it. It's completely lossless if you are able to use the passthrough options.

Oops. :Blushing: Sorry forgot VLC was just a player. Did you try Handbrake?
