Filters without encoding?

[TheInvoker]

Let's say i want to adjust saturation/colors or i want to crop and change resolution....
How can i do it without encoding? i don't need to change codec because the files already have the one i want.

Some video players allow to adjust these values during playback. Everything else implies re-encoding the video.

Yes i know but unfortunately the settings are global and not for each video and i don't want to adjust every time i need

Not so global. There are lots of parameters you can set in the mkv header. Indeed, your player must be "smart" enough to apply them.

mkvpropedit -l

i use MPC-BE or The KMPlayer
if you can tell me how do it with those players,please

The only one i know that allows to save different setting for each video is SMplayer but it's not my main player since it has more different things i don't like

mpv allows file-specific configuration with configuration stored in the same directory as the file.

mpv also usually has excellent hardware acceleration support (currently broken for Fedora 29 for HEVC because of a bug in ffmpeg 4.0.3, working fine with ffmpeg 4.1 or 3.3.9).

yes, mkv should be an universal video file format like any Video Editors project file with no reencoding of the original video file and with "live" non destructive filters
