[Solved] Can't Import MKV Videos to Adobe Media Encoder
Adobe Media Encoder is a media processing app that lets you encode audio and video in a variety of formats, enabling you to work with media in a unified way across applications. But some users complains that they can't import MKV videos to Adobe Media Encoder and get an error message "could not be imported" or "could not read from source".
Why your MKV files cannot be imported to Adobe Media Encoder? Maybe your Adobe Media Encoder is too old to support .mkv files. Your MKV file is encoded with HEVC 10-bit HDR, which is not accessible for AME. Or it's an issue of MKV audio or subtitle track. For all I know, AME doesn't open files with DTS audio or SRT subtitle track, which is mostly used in multitrack MKV files. On top of that, MKV's Incompatibility with Adobe Media Encoder is the root cause of the import failure error!

[Guide] How to Convert Unrecognized MKV to an Adobe Media Encoder Compatible Format
Analysis: MKV is just a multimedia container, which can be encoded with a variety of audio, video and subtitle codecs. There is a possibility that your MKV files are encoded with Adobe Media Encoder not supported codecs, such as 10-bit HDR HEVC, DTS audio and SRT subtitle, leading to MKV not loading in AME. That's also the reason why some users fail to fix Adobe Media Encoder not reading MKV files error by changing the MKV container to another one.
