how to convert an MP4 movie to MP 3 on my imac

I have my SD card inserted to my iMac but when trying to open a Quick Time Player to watch it it says The operation could not be completed

I need to know where can I get a software to convert from MP4 to MP3 where in iTunes I have it on General MP3 .... I have Final cut pro,Motion,Compressor,Logic Pro X and Main stage 3 plus iMovie . I found a pay software by Movavi Video Converter Premium I have the trail for 7 days but after I have to buy it. Any suggestions will be appreciated

What about Garageband?


There's many utilities out there that do this kind of thing, though with some it is a bit more involved than just pressing a single button. I have at least half a dozen that will do it but some are older utilities (I use Mavericks) and some I downloaded 10 years ago. VLC may do it but you will have to learn a few settings. Some you may need to do two steps, demux the streams first, then use another tool to do the conversion from mp4 audio to mp3 if you still want that.

I found MOVAVI I’ve had the trail for 7 days works great . But one from the Apple store for $24.99 and from there web site it is MOVAVI premium for $49.99 I’ve asked them what is the deference awaiting there respond . The trail works great and it has editing where I don’t need because I don’t know how to edit yet where 4 months ago I bought Final Cut Pro but did not have time to learn it along with compressor and other software it was 5 items bundle from the App Store . Thanks for your replay
