[Now released] Restore MKV Format Support

Removing MKV Format support has a negative impact on the workflow of people that work with broadcasting software like OBS. Restore MKV support. Having native support for MKVs, even if they don't edit well without generating proxies, saves me a ton of time that I'd otherwise have to spend remuxing/transcoding files.

    This is why I may have to cancel and switch to avid again. it seems like the industry forces this every 5 years.

    Have just been reading about the benefits of FFV1/PCM codecs and .MKV containers for archiving, and how it has become a favourite for video archiving associations around the world. Then discovered that Adobe just removed support for it from Premier Pro!
    For what reason? Will support be reinstated? If not within Premier Pro will support be added to Encoder?

    adobe? are you joking? i just duplicate the ImporterMPEG.prm and change it to ImporterMKV.prm
    the files can you see in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC 2019\Plug-Ins\Common

    Easy solution for those who wish to use MKV files with Premiere Pro:

    (brew install ffmpeg)
    $ ffmpeg -i video.mkv -map 0 -c:v copy -c:a pcm_s16le video.mkv.mov

    You can play around with editing the "-codec:a pcm_s16le" and replacing it with "-codec:a copy", skipping the decoding of the audio stream.

    I honestly don't understand why an 'update' would be removing a feature that worked fine and many people used... An update should be improving things, not limiting.
