Though Final Cut Pro especially the FCP X provide native support for Canon MXF, with no transcoding, smooth importing, strong metadata support, real-time editing, and flexible delivery options, something frustrating to its users is that when loading Canon XC10 4K MXF files to FCP X, some error messages like missing codec, looped audio, etc occurred from time to time.

Play 4K MKV on Vizio Smart TV from USB port

Best workaround to play any MKV videos on Vizio Smart TV from USB by convert MKV to Vizio Smart TV preset profile formats. "Does anyone know what should be done for this particular Smart TV brand to play MKV videos correctly? What happens is that the TV can't either read the file or when it does the images are kind of distorted with poor audio. I did a Google search and someone was saying that the USB drive from which the TV is reading the files from needs to be formatted to FAT32 otherwise they won't work? Is this the real reason? Am I missing something else. Ultimately I can get an HDMI cable and playing the files from laptop to TV, but I wait first for the non-cable option. Cheers!"
