Hi, I am trying to put 2 MKV files on a DVD, which sounds simple enough. The files play fine in Windows Media Player and VLC (although not in PowerDVD for some reason - any ideas?). I have tried using ConvertXtoDVD but one of the files produces an error after about 2 minutes of the file:

"Warning - Estimated Duration of the video was inaccurate. Output size may greatly differ from target"

And it stops encoding it there. The other file is fine.

I would try using AVI2DVD but I want 2 files on one DVD, how do I use AVI2DVD to either produce DVD-compliant MPEG-2 files that I can then convert to one DVD, or a DVD with multiple files?

I have tried opening the problematic file in VirtualDubMod and I get the following:
[!] MKV: A frame of stream 1 (at 83 ms) had only a forward reference (maybe broken file).

-HUNDREDS more frames in between-

[!] MKV: A frame of stream 1 (at 669962 ms) had only a forward reference
(maybe broken file).

[!] MKV: Video frames seems to be weirdly ordered.

[!] Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'ÿÿÿÿ' (unknown).
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable. Only 'Direct stream copy' is available for this video.

But it plays fine.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks
