copying clips

I don't know of anything that will split them and keep the container intact. If you are happy to re-encode then you could look at avisynth and virtualdub

Install the haali splitter and ffdshow. Use avisynth to open the mkv file using

DirectShowSource("pathtofile.mkv", fps=nnn, convertfps=true, audio=true)

where you fill in pathtofilename and nnn with whatever relates to your video

Open the script in virtualdub, edit, and encode to avi using the codec of your choice. You need both avisynth and virtualdub, not just virtualdub.

You might also try AVIDemux. I don't know if it will handle them or not.

VirtualDubMod can handle OGM and some older forms of MKV (you're better off using a different method for MKV, anyway, such as the AVISynth method guns1inger mentioned above, than trying to process it directly in VirtualDubMod (or any VirtualDub variant, for that matter )).

That said, OGMs are usually just a container with an Xvid AVI video stream, OGM-format audio tracks, and maybe a subtitle track or two. So, you can also simply demux the OGM, convert the OGM tracks you want to MP3, mux them into the AVI, and cut your segments from the AVI, that way.

Personally, I would extract the mkv contents with mkvextract, use mkvmerge to create a new file with just the audio track I wanted, then add the subs as an external sub through FAVC. Frankly, if it wasn't for the quality of the AVC video in some mkv files, I wouldn't bother with them as the format is a royal pain in the arse.

Just found this - it might help : https://forum.videohelp.com/topic235013.html

Suggestion: extract the video from the .mkv container as a
"raw stream", then use avi-mux or avc2avi for placing the
extracted video into a .avi container. HTH.
