MKV File no audio Power Director

[kingmikethe1st]

Hey guys, I have a Movie in MKV format that i import into Power Director 9 and then drag it into the timeline and only the video shows up in the timeline. I have other videos i import into Power Director in other formats and the audio is attached to the video when i drag them into thwe timeline but not MKV files. The MKV file works fine using VLC and Windows Media Player, both audio and video. Hope someone can help, Thanks -Mike.

MKV is not an editor friendly format.

But what is the audio in the mkv? Identify it with Mediainfo. Powerdirector might not just support it.

You could try extract the audio from the mkv to a wav or mp3 and add separate(if possible) in powerdirector, use for example Pazera Free Audio Extractor.

MediaInfo says under "First audio stream" English, 1 510 Kbps, 48.0KHz, 24 bits, 6 channels, DTS

You could also try reconvert it to ac3 dolby digital with popcorn mkv audio converter. It will make a new mkv with ac3 audio instead of dts.

I used the Audio converter to change the audio so when I drag it into the timeline, the audio is attached now. Thanks heaps .
