On a terminal please do this .

mv "long file name.mkv" "long file name - HD.mkv"

OK i re-read your post and seems like you want to rename files in batch .
I have tried to write up the below .

#!/bin/bash


for i in  *.dat
do
        fname=${i%.*}
        renamed="$fname"" - HD.mkv"
        mv $i "$renamed"
done

rename -n 's|.mkv$| - HD.mkv|' *

once youre comfortable with the output, remove the -n and it will rename the files
