Just recently Apple have updated their "Compressor" tool. It can be used as a format converter (similar to DVDFab Video Converter) and makes perfect use of the hardware built in the latest 2017 iMacs. It also can finally convert into H.265. It is blazingly fast!
Since DVDFab Video converter still doesn't support hardware acceleration, I though to myself: "Hey, there's a workaround path now": rip my Blu-Rays with MP4 passthrough (very fast) and then let Apples "Compressor" tool do the high-speed conversion to H.265.
And here comes the strange part and my question: While all MP4 files that I own can perfectly be converted with the new "Compressor" version, all MP4 rips created by DVDFab Blu-ray riper simply don't work. Compressor just says that there is an error with the input file, and that's it.
Does DVDFab ripper create some "special" kind of MP4 files? Is anybody out there able to look into this and find a way to correct this? It's becoming so terribly frustrating to own a fantastic machine and simply not being able to use it to it's potential simply because of missing software support. Any help/hint would be highly appreciated! :-)
