H.264 *.MKV to DVD

[Kitsune.kun]

I have a couple H.264 *.MKV files (each a half of a movie) that have AC3 audio. I need to somehow get these to a DVD to view on a HDTV that is arriving tomorrow.

I use the Buffalo High-Definition Wireless Media Player (Link (http://www.buffalotech.com/products/product-detail.php?productid=96&categoryid=18) ).

What would be the best way of getting this file on a DVD file keeping the HD and AC3?

It says my DVD player supports the following:
• WMV and WMV HD playback
• DivX® and DivX® HD playback (Official DivX® Certified product)

Video Files dat, mpg, mpe, mpeg, m2v, m1v, vob, avi, asf, divx, xvid, rmp4, mp4, vro, m4v, m2p, hnl, wmv, wmv hd, divx hd

Audio Files mp3, mp2, ogg, wav, aac, wma, pls, m4a, ac3, mp1, mpa, asf, m3u

I don't believe the player support's all DivX futures, you should test it first. Anyway, you should be able to extract the video and audio from MKV container. Then open the AVI with video only in VirtualDub a convert it to MPEG-4 ASP using XviD or DivX (they are better then WMV). Then use Nandub, VirtualDubMod or AVI-Mux GUI to join the new video and original AC3 sound.
If you can't open the video in VirtualDub, you can try AviSynth with DirectShowSource.

It was said DVD Santa 4 can read MKV and convert to DVD, but this is not confirmed yet.

plus i use this gui to make it a little simpler:

edit:

as suggested, i just demux the mkv, convert the audio and then mux back with vdub. my video in the mkv is already xvid, but the process would be the same, just with an extra video conversion step.
