Background Info: For a long while I have wanted to know how to make animated GIFs from my favorite MKV-formatted shows. A quick google search will reveal that there is no *easy* way to go about it. Sure, there are some of pre-packaged "converters" out there, but they lack MKV support as well as customizability, and are generally full of adware.. The method I demonstrate has none of these problems, and the programs used are open source/freeware. VirtualDub is a really bare bones application, but a great solution, and it's free.
