[UkRs]

so yea guys this is my first time making an amv so i had an idea my friend gave me the series which were mkv 1080p(h.265) ( i dont know if he bought or just download it! ) so i have sony vegas platinum ( paid ) so i started adding clips in the editor but w8 what the file is mkv so i can't add the video! , fine then i will simply convert it to mp4 so i searched it on youtube and tried every way to covert it into mp4 ( except converters they take a lot of time like it would take like more than 100 hours as each videos takes 2-3 hours to convert ) so tell me is there a simple way to convert it into mp4 as you guys are amver(just a madeup name) and most of you guys might have faced this problem!

Since you say they are h265, Vegas does not support that so recontainering will not work. Converting to lossless AVI would be the best solution as you would not lose any quality and the conversion process is rather quick, however the downside is you will need a lot of space. NEVER re-encode to a lossy format to edit with as you will just be degrading the quality and the conversion process is really long too.
