Handbrake is about keeping the video. In rereading her post, the problem is not the Mac, but Amadeus. I'm now thinking she really does need something Amadeus will by happier using. So, that means ffmpeg and a file conversion on the Terminal, imo. I'm going to see if I can get home brew to

VLC will play those files, as will mplayer for osx. These days I'm using ffmpeg to convert among formats when I need to do that, but I do that on the Linux command line. I would expect I could install the ffmpeg tool using Home Brew on my Mac, though, which would make conversion in the terminal

I love that 1.5 Tb of RAM. At last the tacit acknowledgement that 4, 8 and even 16 are miserly and inadequate in today's software world. Frankly, even the 16 Gb I'm seeing on current Thinkpads is leaving me unimpressed. This Mac shows me that Apple has the right idea, imo about RAM. Janina

Absolutely agree with getting the more powerful system. It will remain your friend far longer that way. I also agree with Simon's point that you might want more storage. PS: Anymore I personally consider 32Gb RAM a minimal system. I prefer as much RAM as I can afford, with my second priority
