What's a Good, FREE, .MKV Compatible Video Editing Program?

you could just use handbrake to convert the files to another format to edit them.

Handbrake does that? i thought it only did .mkv's? I'm not very good at this, I apologize. x_x

But still, something better quality than WMM would still please me.

Handbrake does that?

fuck

Well, I'm not entirely sure how you'd do this. I could always use a separate media converter, but that take up more time than it's really worth.

handbrake can make mp4's and mkv's

i'm assuming that your source files are all wmv or something? what is your ultimate goal? are you looking for free video editing software? if so, i recommend avidemux or virtualdub or vdub for short. virtualdub works exclusively in avi but can output to any codec or container you have. these programs are somewhat basic in their editing functionality and are mostly for encoding but they can do simple cutting and whatnot.

i'm not sure why you need to make mkv's out of your videos but it's a container mostly used by fansub groups for its versatility in embedded subs, something i'm assuming you don't need. if you really insist on mkv it's a fairly advanced video encoding process and you'd need something like the haali media splitter. i barely know how to use it so you'd be on your own there.

most decent editing software is not free and most people just pirate them.

Well, I'm not trying to make .mkv's, handbrake only compresses clips as them. I just want to put together a full video of clips and WMM only takes .avi's and the usual junk. I just wanna be able to compress my clips before I edit them so the sound and video work right. I already have a way of compressing clips (using handbrake), but I can't edit them as they are in these formats. I was just thinking that there'd be an easier way than to have to resort to file conversion which probably takes up more time than it's worth.

I don't think WMM accepts .mp4's either.
