What machine do you have ? Windows, or a Mac ?

For Mac (though available for other platforms as well) - I use Handbrake - allows output format to be chosen for specific devices (iPad/4K etc)


Can do mp4/mkv and possibly other formats as well

Are you saying the files format factory converts are corrupt, or the format factory programme?

Format Factory for a while now appears to come laden with a trojan, though they deny it. I've also been looking for an alternate though I run an old version of it (5.6). Don't have the install files though as this was upgraded over time.

Might be worth downloading a copy of an older version? I doubt if the current release is tested against 7 at this point.
