iMovie doesn't load my .mkv movie file and I tried avidemux for Mac, but whenever I open it up, it freezes. I left it on overnight just to see if it was taking long, but it's still frozen in the morning (my Macbook Pro is from 2010). I tried converted the file with Handbrake, but the quality loss is noticeable after conversion and I'd like to keep the exact original quality. Is there any video editor I can buy that will allow me to?
Got a tip for us?

If you only want to trim parts, look at the latest beta of MPEG Streamclip.
If you want to do more and want to use iMovie, use the following guide as guidelines for the correct settings, as they don't differ for the output:

MPEG Streamclip doesn't list MKV as a supported format. But you could first remux it using MP4 Tools and then re-encode in Streamclip, I imagine.
Actually, the the latest beta version of MPEG Streamclip worked quite well. However, it didn't retain the subtitles...how do I make the subtitles stick? (I trimmed the video, so I also need the subtitles to be trimmed to match the timing as the original video, except trimmed to the part when I trimmed to the video)
