Is there any way to get Adobe Premiere to support MKV files or it simply just doesn't support it?

OK, the short answer is it is impossible.

... What do you mean better use freeware or shareware to edit? Since when is it correct for a professional program not to support formats that freeware would support? What's wrong with the MKV format, I don't get it... Is it a crime to get a program to support more formats? The more formats it supports, the better it is. I just didn't like that the response was a smart-ass answer instead of directly answering to me how to get Premiere CS3 to support MKV/whether it's impossible.

How right he was and how wrong are you calling it deficiencies. You obviously don't know the program, nor it's intended use. Anyone using an obscure wrapper like Matroska better use freeware or shareware to edit, not a professional program.

Harm Millaard.... that's a pretty ignorant post. You do know that Matroska is being used by consumers (with over 40+ million downloads), as well as being used by CE companies like LG, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Western Digital, Sigma Designs, DivX just to name a few. In production is being used for Film Daily's, TV Series Tagging and Storage, Movie Production, Content delivery, again... just to name a few.

My point is get the facts straight as its far from obsure (imho)... and adding to to APP is a must.

That is why PR does not support it. PR is for professional formats and PE is more suited for consumers.

I thought it answered the question very well, even without specifically referencing .mkv files.

That kinda didn't help... It mentioned nothing about MKV files and whoever wrote that just called everyone an idiot instead of admitting the deficiencies of the program.
