Everything is great now with Star Wars and I’ve moved onto Empire Strikes Back.
I downloaded the AVCHD file but didn’t have any DVD-DLs, so until I get to the store and buy some, I tried downloading the .MKV file. Did that successfully, but what programs are now recommended to play .MKV files? I’m not familiar with them.
Also, will these import into popular editing suites like Premiere Pro or Final Cut? Thanks.
VLC will play them fine.
MKVs won’t import into premiere, but the x264 video track inside them will. Therefore, if you convert to another container (like mp4 or .ts), or demultiplex with something like TsMuxer and import the video stream itself, it will be fine.
