I shoot most of my riding / social footage with GoPro at 30fps, so I just import my footage directly into FCP X and work from there… FCP X can handle multiple speed / footage types by default… Well, if unfortunately, your GoPro videos can’t be recognized by your FCP X or FCP 7, some alternative solutions to importing GoPro footage to Final Cut Pro are listed below.

Solution 1: To convert your GoPro footage in order to keep highest quality possible when importing into FCPX, you can use GoPro’s software GoPro Studio.

Pixel C is an Android tablet developed and marketed by Google. The screen is gloriously sexy. 2560×1800 resolution jammed into a 10.2-inch screen – continuing the Google Pixel tradition of amazing-looking, super high-resolution screens. If s you have got a Google Pixel, you probably would like to enjoy the DVD movies with this tablet. However, you may be disappointed that you could not just watch the DVD directly without conversion, since there’s no DVD drive there. Although some users have tried a pile of software just to get DVD to Google Pixel C for playback, a lot of problems occurred by using those DVD ripping software:

1. After converting a DVD movie my purchased title, the sound and image in the output MP4 file go in separate ways.

2. In attempt of converting a recently released DVD, I get “import error”.

3. The output file plays very narrow like it doesn’t scale to the right size on my Pixel C.

4. Bad image quality…

Really terrible experience, right? So, is there a yet professional and easy-to-use DVD ripping tool can enable you to play DVD movies on Google Pixel C with the best quality?

If you are a Mac user, you can use the DVD Ripper for Mac to reformat DVD to Pixel C on Mac (El Capitan included). Just download it and follow the guide below to convert and copy DVD movies to Google Pixel C for smooth playback.

Step 1. Load DVD files

Install and launch the top DVD converter. Click the “DVD” icon to load DVD movie. After the DVD files are loaded, you can preview them on the right viewing window and take snapshots of your favorite movie scene. ISO and IFO files are also supported.

Step 2: Set output format

Select output format in the “Format” bar. Here Android > “Android Tablets 720P Video(*.mp4)” or “Android Tablets 1080P Video(*.mp4)” is highly recommended as the output format. Of course, you can also select MP4 as output format from “Common Video” profile list.
