    Question / Help Where's MKV file container? (ffmpeg)

    Running through custom output settings to try nvenc hevc encoder. mkv is my file preference but I don't see it in container format besides matroska and timestamp. Mp4 and mov is a loaded gun and flv doesn't do audio. Unless its under a different name? Or is there more settings to tinker?
