I have some mkv videos. Is there a way I can burn them to a DVD and watch them in my blu ray player without losing quality? My blu ray player will not support mkv files but is there a way I can convert them to AVCHD or another format that is HD and burn them to a DVD and play them in my player?

Yes their are numerous software's that offer this option....The issue at least for me is time....none so far execute this option in a timely manner. You'll be waiting many hours to complete such a task.

entirely not true. run this script to convert from mkv to avchd. once you install the required deps the converting process will take only a few minutes.

yes you can do that or run the script. sense you didnt notice it was a bash script im guessing you know nothing about linux and that script wont help you at all. not poking fun just stating the facts. that script will do everything for you in linux. if your not running linux you should do what you posted though. its going to be more tedious to you though since that script does EVERYTHING for you. try what you posted though

and as a side note the reason it doesnt take it forever is b/c you are simply remuxing (switching containers) and not transcoding where you would be switching codecs

It depends on the length of you video. my video was 45min and the encoding process only took 1 min 28 sec plus the amount of time it took me to burn it with Nero. Maybe a total of ten minutes
