• 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.

Hi, I'm having problems with long rendering times in fcp7. I am working with footage from various cameras, all of which have different video formats (mp4, mts, mxf). I tried the brorsoft video converter for the mts files and they look great and run smoothly in FCP but when I convert the mp4 files with brorsoft, they seem to lose quality. What converter software is best for converting mp4 for use in FCP? Obviously I'm looking for something where I won't lose quality upon converting. And what are some recommendations for editing different video formats within the same project and timeline in FCP7. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Have a look at Handbrake. It's free and works with a variety of video formats as long as the files aren't copy protected.
