I am using sound forge for editing sound files and also audio in video files
also when I need to do something with video files I use Vegas from Sony
But I couldn't open with sound forge or vegas the MKV files
I need a powerful software like sound forge or vegas to open and edit the MKV files !

what is the best software to do the job !

mkv is a container. you need to extract the video file out of it. If you want to edit it.

install virtual dub/avisynth
install lagarith codec
install FFMPEGSource

use (example)

Code: [Select]
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\FFMpegSource.dll")
FFMPEGSource("C:\Users\andy\Desktop\[BSS]_Tengen_Toppa_Gurren_Lagann_The_Movie_-_Lagann-hen_[8A75A457].mkv")

you can now save as a lossless avi file to edit with...thats how you edit with hq mkv files

Use mkvextract to extract the video and audio stream.

Use my method, you'll end up with a H264 video file and a AC3/DTS/AAC/whatever audio file to work with.
Then you can use your favorite video and audio editing software.

Get the whole package of mkvmerge, google it, mkvextract is included but its CLI, for the GUI of mkvextract, google it again, people usually post instructions as well for the GUI. The GUI for mkvmerge is already included in the package but not the GUI for mkvextract.
Have fun.
