Nothing seems to be able to convert this mkv video?

[estidog]

I downloaded two mkv videos fromYoutube in 4K using 4kVideoDownloader, as ClipGrab couldn't do them, but now I can't convert those files or import them into any editing software, even though VLC will play them fine. Can anyone see what is wrong with the files?

(link here to the files I make using 4K video Downloader): https://wetransfer.com/downloads/0a4b834447a5a35f3e70332349ffcbe720191128152811/e14d93...8152811/687c7d

Would anyone be able to help me in finding a way to downloading these as a 4k mp4 (or anything FCPX can handle) file at highest settings?

Thanks!

There's nothing wrong with the files. I used youtube-dl to downloaded the 4K vp9 video and 160 Kbps opus audio in a webm file and was able to converted with VirtualDub2, ffmpeg, AviSynth, etc.

youtube-dl download command:

youtube-dl -f 313+251 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwBr8Uk1Vwg

ffmpeg conversion to h.264+aac in mp4:

ffmpeg -i Drone.webm Drone.mp4

AviSynth script to open the video and audio (the audio was silent in this clip):

a = LWLibavAudioSource("Drone.webm") 
v = LWLibavVideoSource("Drone.webm") 
AudioDub(v,a)

Hi, Thanks for this. I'll need to have a sit down and work out this youtube dl program. I tried after readings comments on this board, but got very confused with it being command based.

[manono]

There are GUIs for it. I use TVDownloader

No problem converting the video with XviD4PSP and editing with PowerDirector

Thanks everyone for their help. Do you know if there any programs for Mac that can download these in 4K?

Many thanks
S
