Hello.

I don't use mkv files. but try ConvertXtoDVD. It has a free trial although it watermarks its output. It lists mkv as a file type.

There's also the free avi2dvd:

I also do not use that format either so I Googled and the info below is from the Matroska site and tell you in detail how to do it. Read it first as it is pretty time consuming and you will need to purchase some programs.

AlltoAvi http://alltoavi.sourceforge.net/ works good and it's free....I've only converted one mkv file but it went smoothly. Converted it to DivX then used ConvertXtoDVD(which kept giving me errors trying to use it to convert the mkv file)to convert and burn to DVD. I tried the mpeg option in AlltoAvi but that didn't work so I went with the DivX option. Oh and BurningAs, the mkv file was reduced in size when converted to a DivX file by maybe 20% if i remember correctly.

VSO ConvertXtoDVD v2.1 ßeta will be released very soon.

Support for several video formats were updated, and some new one added.

Maybe v2.1 will handle .MKV files a little better than v2.0.17

Stay tunes !

You can try it manually. Extract the files from within the .mkv using MKVtoolnix with mkvextractgui for easier use. You can get both from

http://www.matroska.org/downloads/windows.html

You will get something like .avi, .aac/.mp3, .srt, etc...

You can then import these into most software. I am sure both mentioned here (convertXtoDVD & avi2dvd) support all these files.

If with the audio you get multichannel AAC files, you can convert them to 6-wav mono with Besweet for encoding into Dolby Digital 5.1EX or DTS.

AllToAvi lets you choose one audio and one subtitle track I believe.

Hey tjay17,

Did you give VSO ConvertXtoDVD v2.1.0.148 a try ?

Getting good results, bad results.

If you had issues, I would love to see them, so I can share with the VSO Developpers.

Hi there,

If you still have it, may I see the conversion log please ?

I would like to follow up with VSO if there's something wrong with the software and nothing with your files.
