Merge and Convert MKV to VirtualDub editable format

September 21 2016

“I'm running into a bit of an issue trying to get VirtualDub to load .MKV files that have their video encoded in HEVC. I have the VirtualDub .mkv filter installed and it reads and loads the file, but gives a "No Video" warning on the video frames.

The only codecs I have installed on my systems is ffdshow (with VFW enabled) and XVID. (Windows 10 Pro 64-bit)

What else do I Need in order to get HEVC video into VirtualDub?”

As you may know, VirtualDub, as stand-alone, cannot handle MKV, MP4, FLV, MOV or any other files besides AVI. But there're still ways to load them with this video editing software. Now try out the following method to use MKV file formats as input in VirtualDub other than AVI for editing MKV in VirtualDub without any problems.
