Editing A7S files with Audio in Resolve - a solution

[jcs]

Currently Resolve can't handle the A7S's MP4 files with audio (uncompressed PCM audio). A solution is to rewrap the MP4 files into an MOV container using ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i <A7S>.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy <A7S>.mov

Some of the GUIs for FFMPEG may be able to perform this function. I created a very simple and easy to use drag & drop app for OSX that allows adding the app to the Dock, whereby you can simply drag & drop files or directories to quickly convert MP4s into MOVs with no transcoding: runs about as fast as a file copy.

A Windows version was requested- it's now available:

The OSX version is a compiled script, the Windows version is a native C++ app which includes an option to keep or delete the originals, provides progress info, progress bars, and performance stats.
