MKVToolNix omits x265 Video Stream Importation
Hello, I came across some MP4 files that my TV doesn't want to play, so I thought of converting them to MKV to try them again. The thing is, MKVToolNix GUI v20.0 will only import their audio tracks (1 per file, ACC), leaving out the x265 video track.
Problematic file info:

So, I ended up using a third-party program, which indeed was able to simply remux the MP4 files into MKV format; and they play rightly in my TV now.
