I want to burn an MKV movie on a disk, what to do?
August 4th, 2016
I have this little problem here, it may sound stupid to guys who have more experience with this kinda things, but heres the thing:
I have an good quality movie, with a size of 6.5 gb, and I want to burn it on a DVD, so I can watch it on my tv. I was wondering how I could do that.
I downloaded this program, to resize it too 4.5 gb called Ashampoo movie shrink and burn 3, but it doesn’t support mkv movies. (and I think my DVD player can’t play mkv files either, or is it possible that my DVD player can play it?)
So, maybe I can burn it on 2 discs? But than I have to split my file, is that possible?
Or I’ll have to convert my movie to avi, and than shrink the size?
What should I do, and can someone recommend me a good program to do it?

No DVD player currenly plays MKV. There are some things like the WD Live
http://www.wdtvlive.com/ that play MKV straight off a USB stick / HDD

Thanks, I’ll check it out.
well you have to make a choice
if you want to keep the movie in hd, then you’ll have to split it and write it to 2 separate dvds
or you can convert it to the low quality dvd format and watch it on your player
……you can also convert to a low/high quality avi and then write to a dvd and watch using the player if it supports it
one more alternative, there have been m-720p encodes of many movies which have max size of 3.xxgb, you could download those
I just stumbled across this thread. THANKS for posting the question and THANKS to those who replied!
I burned the movie on a DVD using Convert X to DVD, and it worked well, it’s still awsome quality, and the program does all, including burning making chapters, subtitles… Thx for the help you all
Hey I have a question relating to this, I have some blue ray files that are the size of a regular dvd, will this program keep the quality the same when it’s burned to a dvd? I tried burning one file and when I played it on the dvd on my laptop the file resolution was way smaller and didn’t look “blue ray” quality so I’m not sure
thanks in advance
MKVToolNix has option to split MKV video by size, frames, duration… Give it a try
but does it keep the quality of the blue ray rip when I burn it on a dvd?
thanks
if you burn it as data it will retain its quality
……..however if you convert it to dvd then it wont
but does it keep the quality of the blue ray rip when I burn it on a dvd?
thanks
If you do not convert it do DVD-Video, then, yes.
What do you want it for?
To watch on your table DVD player? There has been said DVD players do not play MKV videos. You eighter own some kind of player that can handle MKV or you want it to be classic DVD-video which will be low quality compared to MKV HD version.
If you meet the second case, then forget about it. Converting that HD will take you ages + low quality… You know where I am pointing, right?
I wanted to put the 720p hd videos (~3.0gb) on a regular dvd-r so that I don’t waste space on my hard drive and play them on my laptop (because I don’t have hd tv)
so I see that converting it to dvd loses it’s quality, that sucks

Well you can always buy a ext hdd or a ext media hdd that you can connect directly to ur tv… 720p Blu-ray rips are going to OWN dvd-players!!
Convert to avi format and use convertxdvd and burn to a blueray disc
