well.....
I do not know what you are up to.

do you intend to convert the files wrapped in the matroska container (*:mkv) that way so that they can be played on any stand-alone DVD player?

or do you simply intend to get them from the hard disk
to DVD so that you can't play them on your computer?

you need to be more specific....

yes sorry for not being clear, i would like to be able to play them on a regualr dvd player instead of just the computer

well you have to extract the streams and tracks from the
matroska container first, and then wrap them up into an
avi container. of course not every feature or audiostream
can be transported to avi , simply by extracting.

some streams need further treatment for example AAC audio streams and so on.... but here is how to extract the video and audio along with other tracks from MKV.

the way how you can do it is this.

first you must extract all the tracks and streams that are wrapped in the Matroska container (*.mkv).

then, with these elementary streams you can create an avi
with the help of VirtualDubMOD.

to extract all elementary streams from that Matroska container
you can use a little tool which is called mkvextract.exe
download Mkvmerge as well (or the MKVttolnix collection
which should include both of the previously mentioned.)
you must download the mkv runtimes as well if you do not have it installed already.
MKVttolnix and runtimes can be downloaded here:

if you're not so experienced with command line based programs
you can download a graphical user interface for these tools
here:

simply extract the file to the same folder where you have extracted and installed MKVextract or MKVmerge into.

after you have created an avi you can use it with your favourite
dvd encoding software like Tmpeg cinema craft or nero or.....
by the way....
there is not neccessarily a need to create an avi first if
you have mpeg encoding software that supports the
transcoding of elementary streams. Like Tmpeg or CCE......
or main concept
