Hello, I don’t know if I’ve already mentioned it, but there is a rather disturbing bug that almost always occurs the first time you open the software after starting the operating system.
PS, I’m on Windows 10.
The problem is that once the software is open and I want to import my video (in this case an episode of a series) the first time it does in 95% of the cases I have this as soon as I import my mkv video:
All is grayed out. And I have to delete the file from the software and start again. Or change the template and put back the template I want to use and reconfigure my export settings.
But sometimes I have to restart the import several times before it finally works. But even so I literally have to close the software and start again, otherwise I get the same thing. Everything is black on the preview screen no matter where the timeline cursor is. as on this new image:
Sur les importations dans la journée après avoir terminé une vidéo, il n’y a pas de problème. Il se produit toujours au premier lancement après le démarrage de Windows.
C’est un problème récurrent depuis le début de la 2.6.4. J’espère que la prochaine mise à jour corrigera enfin le problème.
I know I’m not going to be much help here, but I stopped trying to use MKV source video long ago. It simply does not work, because of compatibility issues. I rip DVD in MakeMKV, and then encode to MP4 using Handbrake, plus I can de-interlace at the same time.
Why would you ever re-encode just to change it from MKV to MP4? You’re just changing the container, not the codec so you don’t have to re-encode. All you’re really doing is deliberately degrading your image quality by repeatedly using lossy encoding.
If you’re on MacOS, just use Video Container Switcher, it’s going to take a fraction of the time and won’t degrade your quality. Good luck
there will be no update to the 2.6.4 branch. the next update will be VEAI 3.0 or 3.1
il y aura pas de mise a jour a partir de la 2.6.4. la prochaine sera la version 3.0 voire 3.1 de VEAI
There are some good (free!) software solutions that allow you to remux MKV to MP4 without re-encoding, which saves a fair bit of time as well as leaving the video quality untouched. Examples off the top of my head would be Mediacoder or BOX4.
Never really understood why MKV is such a problematic container for so many applications - it’s very annoying!
remuxing a Mkv container to mp4 can be tricky. depending of the player it can fail too. (expecially on TV / Media player), so a small Warning about using it is good to have while doing it. it can work, but in other circonstances, it can fail too.
for curiosity, please, re encode one minute of your entreprise episode in Mp4/H264 (without switching the container without re encode, if it still fail, to see if the problem remain or not. sometimes the issue can come from the codec used as well, if you have this issue from this source only and not other Mkv file. @LowFlight is right. to work in Vegas Pro, I re encode my files, no other choice, the MKV file that MakeMkv produce are in a format not compatible for editing. so it need the hard way, re encoding, not just container switcher. not even speaking that mkv import is still in beta and work bad in vegas, mkv import doesn’t work in premiere pro too.
MKV is certainly an issue for video editor, like .mts/.m2ts Vob file etc…
Oddly enough, I never had to do this before because it did it automatically. And yet, I have been using the software since version 1.6.x. I must not have realized that it was not activated. I’ll check next time.
I did not test with a mp4 at the first launch of the software. But that’s because here I’m doing image enhancement of the Star Trek series. And the bug I’m talking about is not related to this series. I already had the problem with other series of the same format.
PS, I found a simple and practical way to import MKV and many other formats in Premiere pro/ media encoder and after effect. And it’s thanks to this super powerful plugin: https://aescripts.com/influ

maybe they use the same codec / extension. sometimes i have this issue with my media player, and to watch the file on my tv i must re encode it.
Thanks for the tip ! 'm a vegas pro user, and use premiere only recently (and don’t like it lol).
I’ve been having this weird problem the Proteus filter at 300% scale. I’ve switched to the NVIDIA Studio Drivers from the Game Ready one’s. I’ve reinstalled Topaz Video AI, and also tried underclocking my gpu by 100mhz with MSI Afterburner. But nothing has fixed it.
You are correct, in version 1.x I recall the All option was checked by default. In 2.x there was a shift to more independent queue editing, stabilizing the frame syncing with Audio, etc. Now if you drag-n-drop multiple titles to the drawer, they are all unique jobs, you can set them all up individually, you can even select a single title out of the queue to process leaving the others available for later. Or select all to process all. They did make a pop-up dialog warning you if it appeared there were more titles in the queue than the one when you attempt to start. I run VEAI 2.6.3 as my stable tool. Something with 2.6.4 messed things up, unsure now why. Good luck!
Oddly enough, for me, it is often during the first use of the day that I have to manually check the switch box. During the day for other uses, it does it correctly in automatic mode. But 1 time out of 5 or 10, during the first use in the morning it sometimes manages to be self-activated. But it’s rare lol. But well: now that I know it, it is enough that the activate it manually when it does not have it in auto
