I want to split this big 7.94 gb .mkv movie file I have into 2 part so I could fit it onto 2 playable dvd's since my blank discs only hold up to 4.7gb apiece. I'm told an mkv file can be burned onto a dvd as is an should play in your dvd player just like that so I guess I don't need to be worried about converting the type of file since an mkv file i'm told is supposed to be burned as is.

*Any* file, virtually of any type, can be *converted* to mpeg-2
dvd and a DVD created from it.
Is this what you are talking about ? Or does your dvd player player
MKV directly? This is the kind of distinction you need to make when you
make a post, otherwise we wont get anywhere.

uh huh well I think it does play mkv files....I don't see why it wouldn't or how I could check if it does...it plays pretty much everything else.

I assume I need to convert it to split it into smaller files... is there a way I can just split this file as is into two or 3 smaller parts?

It's not the size of the file, it's the running time of the movie.
If it's a 2 - 2½ hour movie there should be no problem.

I am not aware of any stand alone DVD player that supports mkv playback...
If you just want to split the file in 2 as is, you can use MKVMerge GUI or AVIMux Gui.
If you have a Divx certified player, depending on what you have inside the MKV container, you could just change the container, otherwise, you have to convert to DVD/avi. With AVI though, I think there is a file size limit...

Well, you can't burn 7.94 GB of data on a 4.7 GB disc(the capacity of a single layer). You need a Double Layer disc. However, burning as MKV, you will just be ruining a disc.
