smpearce don’t let my cynicism discourage you, without suggestions we wouldn’t have great fanedits, so there’s the other side of the coin. Also I’d suggest ripping using makemkv or dvdfab in 2160p then if the video is in HEVC try lossless container conversion to mp4 using VLC media player. Otherwise do a HQ conversion in Handbreak in 2160p. You can easily work with 4K on a basic laptop in Premiere and Final Cut using proxy files.
Hey Kraus
No criticism or discouragement taken offensively at all.
It’s all fair comment/advice/observation.
A quick question then as I don’t want to sabotage Hal’s thread with tech help, but if I wanted to play with Hal’s edit from the 30gb MKV, rather than my own rip (due to wanting to keep 99.9 percent of Hal’s work) how would I strip that MKV down to it’s x264 component parts so I can get it into remiere.
Funnily enough, I’ve just had a thought…TSmuxr…that might break apart the container.
However, bracing myself for the fact that might not work, I’d be keen to get your advice.
If it’s more prudent to take this conversation to PM’s I’m happy to continue there if you have the time?
Sorry for going off topic here, Hal
