Expected Behavior
OBS should be able to remux ProRes mkvs.
Current Behavior
The OBS remuxer raises an error 10:56:32.901: media_remux: Error opening output file: Invalid argument when trying to remux any ProRes-encoded MKV to mp4.
Steps to Reproduce
- Record ProRes file in .mkv container
- Use remuxer to remux
Anything else we should know?
This is in reference to pull 7010, which is not yet merged, but Pat recommended to open an issue, as with the HEVC tagging issue.

Research direction
Start by reading pull request 7010 and reproducing the failure with a ProRes MKV on macOS, using the linked OBS log and the remuxer error as the starting point. Trace the remuxer path that emits the invalid-argument error; done means a ProRes-encoded MKV remuxes to MP4 successfully.
