REQ: Output option to have output file as MKV or MP4

[wcapes]

Hi

Can you add MKV as an output option please

Reason being is that MKV files can be previewed during render so we could test a render while it's busy to see if we happy with options, and can then stop without the full render have to complete.

Will help save time for those of us with older GFX cards

Thank you

Yes, i think so too. With mkv, we can watch videos in real time during video conversion.

The ability to output in mkv format itself is already supported.
You can output in mkv format by specifying the .mkv filename directly in the output path.
e.g. /path_to_output_dir/filename_LRF.mkv

However, there is no output format option in GUI, so mkv format cannot be used unless the filename is directly specified.
I will add a format option for video. mp4 or mkv.

One concern is that there are some incompatible container options, but they seem to be simply ignored, so I think there is no practical problem.
