Regular Rep: 2 Joined: 20 Nov 2004 Posts: 1,169 | Since matroska (mkv) is a rather exotic format, you will have to do the conversion in two steps. First you’ll have to convert the file to avi, then from there you can do your dvd authoring.
For mkv the conversion tool of choice is virtualdubmod (not to be confused with plain old virtualdub).
http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net
Once you open your file in virtualdubmod, pick direct stream copy for both audio and video (if it allows it) and save as an avi (that way you don’t have to do any recompression).

Sjeffo Guest | I am having the same “problem” but will definately try virtualdubmod. But I have another burning question for Ciottia: You wrote that you don’t have a problem with Mov files burning to a DVD. Can you please tell me how you do that than because I’m trying and surfing the Internet for weeks now but havent found the right software yet. Even better if you have an solution to convert it to an AVI file.

Cptn_Sargos Guest | Use a prog like Isobuster to ectract them to the desktop. Then use a burning app like Nero, drag the files and burn them.

adult_swim Guest | this is to the reguards of the mov to dvd.
IT would be simplest to use winAVI to convert you .mov into any mpeg... any file other than mpeg will only work on certain “exclusive” dvd players.
so if you did not buy a dvd player that said it could play avis and so on the box.... then you will need to encode into mpeg.
winAvi encodes very quickly (i.e. 1.3gig avi to mpeg in less than 45 min)

Lockblade Guest | All you hae to do is go under streams, then click stream list. Next, right-click the stream you want to put into AVI, then click Full Processing Mode. Right click again, then click on the compression button. choose your compression, PCM works with EVERYTHING, but I usually choose MP3.

E-Rosion Guest | Hi Marie,
Just fyi, all the steps that you need to follow can be found on:
http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=241422
Just make sure you download Lame MP3 ACM (also through above website) and that when you split the audio you save it as MP3, else it wont work. I have just done it for a file and works great!
Good luck!

Rahl Guest | I have a complete series all mkv files. If I were to convert them to say avi or mpeg, file size range 170,000kb to 240,000kb, would they fit on a dvd and how many roughly could I fit on the dvd?

Keivz Guest | Rahl,
A DVD can hold ~4,480 kbytes of data. Or roughly 19 230 MB files. But if you’re planning on converting those files so that they can be played on a DVD player then it’s best to use mintues instead of bytes. It also depends on your bitrate. In general, a decent looking DVD converted from an avi/ogm/mkv will run 2 hours tops.
Apropos, I use WinAVI to convert video files (avi, ogm, mkv) to DVD. It even works with VFR mkv.

Darean420 Guest | once you have a basic movie file mpeg/mpg/avi whatever, you can use WinAvi to reformat several shows into one small dvd file, and then run that file through DvdShrink
I have fit 3 hours or roughly 10gigs onto one disk,dvd shrink will reencode to make it exactly 4.7 Gigs,then from there burn with nero.
takes roughly 30 min per hour of video for WinAvi, and 30-45 min for Dvdshrink,10-15 for Nero

jam Guest | http://downloads.matroska.org/packs/
download the matroska codec pack

Chipu Guest | OK, here are the programs you will need. This the process I use to guarantee speed and accuracy of the right audio tracks. If you only have one audio track, then I think jam’s advice will work (sorry, haven’t confirmed it yet)
MKV Codec (http://packs.matroska.org/)
WinAMP (http://www.winamp.com)
- BTW, WinAMP should have AAC encoding/decoding built in by now. If not, find a AAC plugin for winwmp and install it... www.AudioCoding.com is where I got mine.
mkvtoolnix(http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/)
- This is the extractor/creator tool (sorry, have to extract using a DOS window). Read the extract.html file under docs, very well written.
TMPGEnc or similar.
OK, read the extract.html for mkvtoolnix to know how to use the mkvmerge and mkvextract commands. You’ll need the mkvmerge to determine the order of the video, audio, and subtitle tracks. Usually, there are 2 audio tracks so you’ll have to extract both, then listen to them to determine which of the two you want.
OK, extract the video as an .avi and the audio tracts as .m4a
Now open WinAMP, click on options, then preferences. Under the 'Plug-ins' section, select 'Output' then select 'Nullsoft Diskwriter plug-in' and then Configure.
Uncheck everything, select your output directory, and select 'Force WAV file' under 'Output file mode'. Click OK.
Close the plugin window.
Now click 'File', 'Play File', and select the .m4a file.
You should not hear any sound, the file should process rather quickly and you should have a .wav file in the location you choose earlier.
Repeat the Play File step for as many .m4a files you have. You may have to shut down WinAmp and start it back up each time.
After that, you can use TMPGEnc or similar program to rejoin the audio with video. Remember, you can only join one audio tract with the video so make sure you choose the right one.
Once converted, you can use whatever DVD creation software you want to burn to DVD.
