I am able to mux and demux some things but MKV's are killing me. It seems I am forced to try six or seven programs on each file before I can get a solution that works and each MKV is different. There just has to be an all-in-one solution.

Premiere Pro can support almost anything (MPEG2/4, H.264, QT, ProRes, AVI)... But not MKV's. It doesn't like TS files. M2TS is fine though I have to render them to edit without choppy video (no big deal, just time consuming).

Some MKV's area read by TsMuxer and I can then easily and quickly get a M2TS file. I love it when that happens. But frequently TsMuxer will not read MKV's I throw at it and when that happens, I am in hell because then I end up spending hours trying to get something useful.

So I have responses with four different programs to try. Four MORE programs!

I want to cut my own head off. But I'll give them a look. mkv-demux-all first.
