How to convert raw XAVC 4K video to iMovie MOV AIC

[caoyu0330]

Announced back in September, the FDR-AX1 is Sony’s first “consumer” 4K video camcorder that is targeted towards indie shooters. The FDR-AX1 captures 3840 x 2160 resolutions in the new XAVC-S format with MP4 Wrapper. You know, as early as 2012, a format called XAVC was created when Sony introduced its pro level PMW-F55 and PMW-F5. For the new AX1, a variation on XAVC has been developed called XAVC / S, which differs from XAVC is it uses GOP codec of H.264/AVC for video file compression. This codec makes XAVC S video not an easily editable format for NLE based on many users’ experience.

Although the AX1 includes Sony Vegas Pro 12, which features support for 60p, 4K and 3D projects, it's no lucky for Mac users for Sony Vegas only runs on Windows. It means, you may have problem to play and edit XAVC S MP4 in iMovie, FCP, FCE, QuickTime, etc on Mac. To get rid of the issues, a professional sony FDR-AX1 XAVC to iMovie converter is helpful. Here introduces Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac, which is effective and efficient to transcode XAVC S video to AIC MOV for iMovie. Meanwhile, this multifunctional tool supports all camcorder formats, such as AVCHD, MXF, MOV, etc. So the high-quality Full HD 1080p video at 50 Mbps shot with the AX1 can also be handled well.

However, to get an iPad accepted video, you need to turn your converted DVD disc/DVD folder/Blu-ray/Blu-ray folder or ISO image file using a ripping tool like Handbrake.

Pros

No support for Blu-ray to Video Converting. The processing speed is kind of slow and hope that Leawo can make more improvement. Sometime you get an error message saying invalid dvd invalid blu ray or invalid iso.Top 3. MakeMKV

MakeMKV is a nice choice for those who feel like to make lossless copy of their Blu-ray and DVD and save whatever parts you want in an MKV container.

The decryption process takes about half the duration of the movie; once it's done, you'll have an MKV file that you can play back with VLC or other software. If you want a smaller file size, you'll need to convert the MKV to a smaller file - in the same format, or in a different one, such as an iTunes-compatible MP4 for playing on iPad– using a tool such as HandBrake again, which we'll be using to converting your MKV into an iPad compatible video.
