Editing MKV files
I performed a search for this using various terms and couldn't find anything.
Hope someone can help. I have a movie file I would like to edit scenes from. Also, if possible, not only would I like to edit the scenes w a start & end point from the larger file, but also be able to append segments similar to what can be done w V-Dub. (Trying to remove unnecessary footage when 2 scenes are taking place at once and cut back and forth) I googled "edit MKV" and got a page that claims to have THE tool/software for it but I can't even seem to find any program. There is a page w a bunch of code or something. I am looking for a program for Windows to edit MKV files. I currently have V-Dub and if there is a plug-in for that , that would be great too. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you@! |

Thanks mabaline.
Didn't even think to look there. Under the download section on that page: http://www.matroska.org/downloads/windows.html Under editors section it brings you to the page I was talking about: mkvtoolnix http://www.matroska.org/downloads/windows.html For the life of me I can't figure out what/where to even download!? |

Thanks again mabaline. Now even more confused.
That program is crazy. If anyone has any experience w editing MKV files please feel free to post or PM me. Tried to convert, append, edit etc...nothing worked. At one point it said it couldn't find a certain required .dll yet I saw it right there in the program folder. It appears as though you actually have to write some sort of script to get it to function. Makes no sense to me anyway. Thanks again for the links. I will continue to try, but this is the most confusing program I have ever seen. |

I tried to cut a clip out of a MKV movie with Mediacoder and it worked. If you convert to an avi, you could use a avi joiner to combine the clips.
Here are some MKV tools that will allow you to demux the video. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVExtractGUI http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVtoolnix Last edited by Blix; January 27th, 2010 at 11:14 PM.. |

Here's a few other possibilities:
http://www.mkvsplitter.com/mkv-editor.html This is a converter that says it can do mkv splitting & editing: http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/M...Converter.html I hope that is some help. Also, while i didnt' find anything at afterdawn.com, it does have a lot of information on sound and video files as well as tutorials. And an open source tool, avisynth, while it doesn't do mkv, might be something you or others would find helpful for other uses. |

Try avidemux, it is pretty much the same a Vdub (but better looking visually)
It supports mkv http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/

How I did it...
Most of the following can be found at the VideoHelp link that Look suggested. I lucked into making this work recently without instruction, as I use Avisynth fairly regularly, but I was still surprised that it actually did succeed!
To use this method you need ffdshow and Haali Media Splitter installed. I use K-Lite Mega Codec pack, which includes both. In Configuration >ffdshow video decoder >codecs be certain that the H.264 decoder is set to 'libavcodec'. Avisynth must be installed. Next, open a page of Notepad and type this script: DirectShowSource("#####") where ##### = the full filepath to the .mkv container. It would start with a drive letter and end with a file extension. Example follows: DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\VideoClip.mkv") A framerate may be specified, but I didn't need to. See here for example. Save the Notepad file as, for instance, "video.avs" (without the quotation marks). The '.avs' is the important part; before the dot it can say anything that you want. Launch Virtualdub >Open File, browse to the .avs file, and double-click. VirtualDub should open the .mkv file. Seeking will be slower than normal. I click the timeline for general locating and then quickly hit the hotkey combo [SHIFT + right arrow] to snap the timeline to the next keyframe, reducing decode time. Make settings for filters, compression, and editing in VirtualDub as usual, then save as .avi. As always, your mileage may vary. Last edited by Billiwog; February 3rd, 2010 at 12:06 PM..

Editing .MKV files w Avidemux (or other)
Finally got to convert an MKV file to AVI using Avidemux.
The only problem is the sounds is WAY off. I have tried editing using Virtual Dub Mod and cannot get anywhere w that program. Is there a somewhat easy way to do this? Anyone familiar w Avidemux (or another fairly easy program) that has experience editing MKV files please help and feel free to PM me thanks |
