[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.

The audio present in my MKV clips is Flac 98000kbps, 16-bit, stereo.

Handbrake is the only way to deal with MKV. Re-encoding is the best I've seen so far.
Being able to select different devices to help with encoding is very cool and helps speed things up.

I'm just gonna give up with using MKV. Playback does work, No Audio. I have an old version of Premiere Pro.

I'll try other software, for the best encoding i can find. Magix Vegas Pro, does have a "MKV Experimental" Tick box option. i might start with that.

On the Plus side. I've learnt lots of new things dealing with instance.

Angelo, couldn't connect on the dropbox because of 2 Factor Authentification. However you can just "share a link" with dropbox and anyone with the link will be able to download it !
Thanks

Antoine, i've made a quick 7 second clip from my phone. its about 50MB. Hi-res Audio, 4k, 60fps, MKV. How do upload the clip? I can't attach it.

I've done a bit of study. Most containers cant handle the various audio technologies, apart from MKV and encoding to other formats seems to cause audio issues. Which ill try myself.

After analyzing my clip, I'm interested in your opinion Antoine.

Eric, i've tried what you suggested. No Joy. Playback always worked. But proxies and exporting in MKV seems impossible.

Just spent the last few hours+ trying to understand why I couldn't create proxies with 4k 60fps footage from my phone.
Reason the phone changes the format when using Hi-res Audio to MKV! When using 3D-audio the format is mp4.

Come on Abode, can't you see your loosing out, by not supporting a format used by millions devices!

I don't want to spend the time re-encoding and I'm not sure exactly how that would affect the Audio.

Nice one Eric, I'll give that a go.

Am doing a massive found footage project, with 800 feature films in MKV. Working on the older version and then switching to Resolve permanently, removing features is a complete joke Adobe.
