VirtualDub-like tool for mkv?

[yunafire.livejournal.com]

I've downloaded a 4gb mkv of an hd-dvd, and the quality is just so amazing. I want to use pull clips from it for a vid. Virtual dub can't seem to open the file. So, is there a tool like Virtual Dub that will? Thanks!

You can do it in VDub if you use Avisynth and the FFmpegSource plugin (DirectShowSource also works, I believe, but FFmpegSource is what I use).

Hm. I'm none too familiar with Avisynth, but thank you so much for your help! =)
