Best way to deal with .webm clips?

What is the best way to deal with .webm video clips to be used in FCP?


At present I am using HandBrake to convert them to .mp4 using the same frame size, frame rate and approximately the same bit rate.


Is this the best method to use or is there something better?

For minimum generation loss convert with ffmpeg to some ProRes flavor and PCM audio with something like:


ffmpeg -i input.webm -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -timecode 00:00:00:00 -c:a pcm_s16le output.mov
