You provide a very good guide on how to perform the above, however there appear to be problems with the software and the software providers do not seem to have an answer.

I tried using this in 04/08 and got an error that a lot of users have reported on the TrustFM site.

The problem I reported was as follows;

I have just installed Avi2Dvd because I wanted to convert an MKV file to DVD.

When you carry out Step 1 - Browse for the MKV file and choose to open.
Avi2Dvd Window Header Says "Analyzing Source ...Please Wait"
Then a popup Error appears "Access Violation at address 00551178 in module 'Avi2Dvd.exe'. Read of address 00000000"

I have tried on 2 pcs
PC1 - Intel Dual Core Pentium Laptop - T2060 @ 1.6GHz with 1Gb ram
Win XP Pro - SP2 + all latest updates
PC2 - Intel P4 2.6GHz - 1Gb ram
Win XP Pro - SP2 + all latest updates

Both those PCs now have SP3.

I have now tried on another PC.
Intel Dual Core Pentium - E8400 @ 3.00GHz with 4Gb ram.
Win XP Pro - SP3 + all latest updates
The same exact problem occured.

I hope somebody at Afterdawn has seen this problem and figured out a fix or workaround.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Phil

Well, probably, either the program doesn't like the container,
or it's having a problem with the program source. What is the video?
H264? Try using avstodvd instead.

Thanks for your reply.

I wouldn't have thought it was the container as it will not allow you to select the file if the container contains any non std characters.

Here is all the info I have been able to obtain on the source file.

The info from the NFO with the file is as follows;

---Source Information---
------------------------
format : HDDVD
resolution : 1080p
video codec : VC-1
aspect ratio : 2.35:1

-----------------------
---Video Information---
-----------------------
container : mkv
codec : x264
bitrate : 5169 kbps
resolution : 720p
frames/sec : 23.976

-----------------------
---Audio Information---
-----------------------
codec : AC3 5.1
bitrate : 640 kpbs
subtitles : None

The info gained from MediaInfo is as follows;

Does this give any clues. I have never managed to use the software successfully, so I'm completely confused??

Can you play this file in Windows media player?

Try AvstoDVD (they've just released a new version)
It uses Avisynth via "directshowsource" to open the MKV.
I just tried it with a similar MKV of my own, and the
results are beautiful. Gives you have a choice of HCenc or Quenc
encoders.

I've got FFDshow and Haali MKV splitter installed. You'll need
same or similar.
