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

[AceD]

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.

is there a homepage for mkvextract
I have found it but there is so many versions, I don't know what to choose

[vuzedome]

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.

Just in case if you don't know, but most likely you do.
CLI = Command Line Interface
GUI = Graphical User Interface
