# There is a bug in mkvmerge 5.0.1 and earlier where if the video content is 1080i, it doesn't mux it properly, and it stutters.
# The quick solution to this issue is to run the interlaced video file through ffmpeg and tell it to copy the video/audio streams to a mkv container.
# We will then merge this temporarily created mkv container into the final mkv container instead of the original interlaced video.
