Importing MKV and/or OGM files into Adobe Premiere Pro?

[nmaster64]

Is there any possible way, by any means, to import an MKV and/or OGM file into Adobe Premiere Pro without having to convert it to avi or somthing first? I just need the video, not to worried about the audio or subs...

You can load them through Avisynth and use the Premiere Avisynth import plugin. http://videoeditorskit.sourceforge.net/

Good post Zarx ;)

You could also simply transmux to AVI, drop the OGM or MKV into Vdubmod, disable all streams apart from the video and save as AVI.

You can load them through Avisynth...hehe, sorry for bein' a newb, but I don't suppose you could describe that a bit more in detail? To be completely honest, I have no idea what I'm doing... :P

Install avisynth and then you create scripts to frameserve your original files.

To load an mkv or ogm through avisynth, you simply create a text file (with .avs extension) with the following text:

DirectShowSource("C:\path_to_file\filename.mkv")


Then after installing the premiere plugin, you can load this .avs file directly into premiere.
More instructions and documentation can be found at the avisynth site.

That worked pretty good! Thanks!

One big problem though after importing a few files though...

That looks like ffdshow... maybe some matroska thing... and something else i have no idea about...
Just disable the tray icons. They are worthless anyway. I hate those things.

[nmaster64]

Yeah, I've been trying to, but I can't find the option anywhere...

...let's see, I finally got rid of FFShow and the Haali Media Splitter, now if I can just get the DirectVobSub off, I'd be good...

Damn, I've searched EVERYWHERE, and can't find anyway to disable the DVS icon...

It'd be fine if it only showed up once, but it shows up once for every file loaded, and that can't be healthy...

Yes, those are FFDShow, Haali's splitter and VSfilter icons.

I don't know of an easy way to disable VSfilter's icon, but you could try temporarily unregistering the filter (means you won't be able to see softsubs until you re-register it).

First off hit the Windows key and F to do a search for "vsfilter.dll"

Make a note of it's location, this is important for the future, if for some reason you have multiple files, make a list of all of them.

Now to unregister it, press the Windows key and R to bring up the Run box, now type:
regsvr32 /u "C:\locationof\vsfilter.dll"

To re-register it, simply:
Press the Windows key and R to bring up the Run box, now type:
regsvr32 "C:\locationof\vsfilter.dll"
