There is something weird with your *.mkv file.
Playing it with VLC only shows me a short flicker and the first frame.
Playing it with ffplay and mplayer it plays (almost) correctly. ffplay
doesn't stop at the end of the file.
I run motion 4.2.2 on a raspberry Pi3 and my *.mkv files are quiet OK.
What I can see is that you have a lot of options in your motion.conf. My
motion.conf is rather small compared to yours.
I don't have anything of:
******************************************************
# Use ffmpeg to encode videos of motion (default: off)
ffmpeg_output_movies on
# Use ffmpeg to make videos showing the moving pixels (ghost images)
(default: off)
ffmpeg_output_debug_movies off
# Bitrate to be used by the ffmpeg encoder (default: 400000)
# This option is ignored if ffmpeg_variable_bitrate is not 0 (disabled)
ffmpeg_bps 400000
# Enables and defines variable bitrate for the ffmpeg encoder.
# ffmpeg_bps is ignored if variable bitrate is enabled.
# Valid values: 0 (default) = fixed bitrate defined by ffmpeg_bps,
# or the range 1 - 100 where 1 means worst quality and 100 is best.
ffmpeg_variable_bitrate 0
# Container/Codec output videos
# Valid values: mpeg4, msmpeg4, swf,flv, ffv1, mov, mp4, mkv, hevc
ffmpeg_video_codec mkv
# When creating videos, should frames be duplicated in order
# to keep up with the requested frames per second
# (default: true)
ffmpeg_duplicate_frames true
# Interval in seconds between timelapse captures. Default: 0 = off
timelapse_interval 0
# Timelapse file rollover mode. See motion_guide.html for options and uses.
timelapse_mode daily
# Frame rate for timelapse playback
timelapse_fps 30
# Container/Codec for timelapse video. Valid values: mpg or mpeg4
timelapse_codec mpg
******************************************************
What I have is this:
******************************************************
# The encoding quality of the movie. (0=use bitrate. 1=worst quality,
100=best)
movie_quality 60
# Container/Codec to used for the movie. See motion_guide.html
movie_codec mkv
******************************************************
and what I'm missing in your config is this:
******************************************************
# Name of mmal camera (e.g. vc.ril.camera for pi camera).
; mmalcam_name value
mmalcam_name vc.ril.camera
******************************************************
You said, you use the Raspi Cam but there is no entry in the config.
Good Luck
Regards
Alex

This is known issue with VLC and low FPS files.
Tools -> Options -> Input codecs -> Network -> Caching policy: High latency
