Looking for ways to add MKV files in Sony Vegas Pro 13?
I've been searching for a method to include mkv files in SVP13, and what I learned is that mkv files are "wrapped" which explains why they aren't fully supported as a codec for Vegas. Sorry if my details are off, but the main goal is to get this video into Vegas without losing quality. I've already tried using VLC's built-in converter, but it caused stuttering and no audio in Vegas—though it worked fine in VLC alone. I'm unsure if I need to unwrap the file or switch formats; any advice would be appreciated. Also, if my information is wrong, please let me know the correct details—I'm eager to learn!
Sure, I can provide more details about this. Please let me know what you'd like to explore further!
Consider using Handbrake for DVD ripping; it also handles MKV to MP4 conversion. Demuxing is an alternative but needs more effort. ffmpeg was used for demuxing in the project. Updated on May 13, 2015 by sumitmak
MKV serves as a container format. Typically it holds h264 video, audio, and subtitles—often multiple audio, video, and subtitle tracks within a single file. You can view, extract, and combine files using tools like MKVextract and MakeMKV, which work well together. It's been a while since I experimented with them.
