burning a video to dvd

[darrenb]

-okay if this is the wrong category, apologies. I have a video (1080p HD) on pc i'd like to copy to a dvd so i can watch on tv with the dvd player but the file type is MKV(Matroska) and in the folder there are also other files like the subtitles etc. How do i copy it so all things work together, do i just copy the one folder on to disc or what?
-Whats a good program?
-and the dvd player says it can play 'DVD/VCD/CD' i dont know if that means anything. Sorry i'm new to this.
Thanks DB

You will have to convert from MKV to DVD-Video format.

Here are two links that will help you - great sites for everything video. From the first link:

This guide show how to encode multimedia content using the matroska container format (MKV files) to DVD-Video to view on pretty much any stand-alone DVD player. Unlike other guides we have that would work for this process, this guide uses only freely available software.

I've never converted from mkv to dvd. I'm sure other posters will be able to give you more specific instructions.

Try convertX to DVD but you will need a dual layer if the file is big!

If you have an Xbox 360 get the program Gotsent and make it mp4 and put the file on usb and enjoy!

+1 for ConvertXtoDVD - the latest version let's you run a two-pass on the video and it works great (you must enable it though in the settings - disabled by default) - it reduces the MKV video size without much loss, to the DVD VOB format. I do the same with my series in MKV when I can't stream them directly, and can easily fit 5x 1-hour episodes on a DVD-5 disc and 10x 1-hour episodes on a DVD-9 disc...using the two-pass of course

Won't you have to resize the entire video? DVD players cannot play HD content.

Nero 10 Vision can also do mkv to DVD, I find that Convertxtodvd doesn't compensate for NTSC to PAL framerate conversions, so after awhile of watching the movie the video and audio go out of sync, Nero does compensate.
