MKV to MP4 Help Needed

[tangerines]

Hi all! I've been wanting to make GIFs of a certain anime, but Photoshop cannot open MKV files. I downloaded HandBrake today and I've been trying to convert my video file from MKV to MP4, but I've been encountering some errors. I'm on Windows 10 and using version 1.0.7 of HandBrake. Below is the Activity Log. I'm a noob when it comes to video encoding and HandBrake, so please bear with me. Thanks for the help!

# Encode Completed ...

[Deleted User 11865]

I downloaded HandBrake today and I've been trying to convert my video file from MKV to MP4, but I've been encountering some errors.

Thanks for the log, but there are no errors in it that I can see, so you'll have to be more specific about your issues please.

I suspect this might be an issue, your source may have errors in it, can you re-acquire it?

There are really no errors? I'm new to this, but it keeps telling me that 2 errors or cancellations have been found and it's been stopping the video at 3:20 rather than encoding the whole 23 minutes.

I'll see if I can find a different source and I'll update this thread if it works.

Barking up the wrong tree?

I have used imagemagick to convert video to animated gif. Not sure about the supported containers and codecs, though.
https://gist.github.com/CoolOppo/f54d86abe726bb7827e6

If all you need is to change the container without transcoding, then consider Avidemux. Note that the MP4 container supports fewer codecs than MKV, so a lossless container conversion may not always be possible. ADM is also nice to use if you want to losslessly cut your video before transcoding or converting to gif.
