Best ripper settings for iMovie?

[APOLLOSTEES]

So I'm able to use the blu-ray ripper to easily rip blu-ray, and the mp4 that it creates looks great if I play it in Quicktime, VLC, Plex etc.


But, I've noticed that when I try to edit that same mp4 in iMovie there is tons of distortion and green artifacts??? For example, this is supposed to be Captain America and Black Widow



The only way to fix this is to re-convert the mp4 file in ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i AVENGERS_ENDGAME.theatrical.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p  Avengers-iMovie.mp4

I want to be able to edit my ripped movies in iMovie, so what is the best "device" or "format" option to choose for iMovie compatibility?
