After mucking around with several MKV samples, I'm throwing in the towel. Here's what I've got:
Extracting with iMKVExtract is a breeze. Nothing to it.
Muxing with MP4Box gives mixed results. This is the part where I gave up. I get errors with some files, hangs with others.
Out of all my tries, I did get one sample (720p H.264) to mux. It played fine in QT... without sound. At this point I didn't want to play with the AC3 codec I had installed given the success ratio of my muxing trials.
To sum up, like many have already said: IT'S NOT WORTH IT I'll try later when we have better MKV support, better H.264/x264 support and better AC3 support. Until then, VisualHub is my best friend. Thanks for your help guys.
