i was wondering if there is any way to get my intensity pro being recognized by VLC and allow me to watch .mkv files? Or maybe there is any other app that could allow me to do this.
Yes, it is possible. You need to enable Decklink SDK when compiling VLC. If you already have VLC installed normally, you should uninstall it first. There are several threads about this on the VLC forums. Here's one: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=100499
