mkv to dvd conversion ><

[Kannz]

Sorry not sure where to put this since I'm retarded >.< well anyways I have an .MKV file that i want to convert to a dvd. I was able to convert other .MKV files to dvds with just mkvmerge and dvdsanta4 but this mkv has some weird kinda video stream cuz i get nothing but unsupported video stream from all the converters I've tried. I looked in mkvmerge and it said it used mpeg4/iso/avc for the video stream. is there any way to change it to make it to where i can convert it into a dvd or is there a way to convert it straight to a dvd as is?

thanks

Try using virtualdub to make an AVI, then use a program like DivX2DVD.

it says cannot detect file type when i try and open the video file.

welcome to the forum

use something like mediacoder or avi2dvd. ensure you've got a recent build of ffdshow installed

virtualdub won't accept mkv, virtualdubmod's mkv support is dated and doesn't work at all with AVC IIRC. encoding twice just takes longer and hurts quality.

another option is SUPER, free, single download. will convert to mpeg-2 (dvd)

i cant figure out how to use mediacoder :/ i opened the file in it and fiddle with the video thing on it and hit start but it didnt do anything is there some kind of manual or a little help thing somewhere?

I think i figured out how to use it but when i transcoded it into avi it still said it was an mkv :/ and it still says unsupported for all my programs also one other weird thing is that it got smaller by a few megs any help at all?
