    Recommend a frame-accurate smart video cutter/trimmer

    Hi, I want to cut/trim the commercials out of .ts and .mp4 files that I have DVR'd. It needs to be smart (only re-encoding the frames between the cut-point and the next key-frame). The closest that I can find that meets this criteria is: SmartCutter - but it crashes (costs £ 50 but has not...

    How to extract video from mkv?

    Am I missing any essential app for extracting workable video from MKV files? I.e. something I can either recut or cut to gifs? Currently I use AnyMP4 (free, App Store) to cut and convert to MP4, or Lossless Cut (free, GitHub) if I want to cut first, then convert. Both are terribly bad with the...

    iMovie MP4 file space

    Relatively new to iMovies, I created two MP4 files by editing digital camera home videos using iMovie. I had read that each hour of video translates into about 1GB of storage space as an MP4 file (and possibly up to 2GB per hour if HD). The MP4 files created (50 minutes & 93 minutes in length)...

    MP4 preview hangs in Finder?

    I've found that with the last 3 or so betas for 10.13 and the final release that MP4 preview in Finder has been hanging consistently and requires a Force Quit / restart of Finder.

    Batch convert MKV to MP4 with subtitles

    I know Handbrake can convert MKV files with subtitles to MP4/M4V. You select the MKV file, go to subtitles, and choose the english version. Pretty simple. But how would I do this with multiple MKV files, without having to keep an eye when one is done, so that I can load the next file. I...

    MP4 and USB and Apple TV 4

    I have a bunch of videos and movies stored on USB from a variety of original sources. Is Apple TV 4 capable of playing MP4 files? What's the process of getting them to play on the device? Would a different set top box better? Is Apple TV likely to be updated to Apple TV 5 soon? Thanks in...
