Matroska (h.264+AAC) to DVD?

[Kung Fu Hung-Su]

Hey people, I have some wonderful high quality videos in the above mentioned format which I'd like to stick onto a DVD somehow and am not sure how I would do this. Does anyone have any suggestions on programs to use and what steps I would have to take?

A way I use to achieve what u want is:
MKV --> Video: AviSynth --> HCEnc
--> Audio: AviSynth --> VirtualDub (Stream List --> Save WAV)[1] --> WAV --> Aften

Usually for video (.avs):
DirectShowSource("video.mkv")
Trim(0,0) // [2]
Lanczos4Resize(0,0)
AddBorders(0,0,0,0) // [3]


[1] I´ve had issues when decoding with CLI apps so I now decode thru DirectShow.

[2] U can do it here or in HCEnc.
For some reason, the last frame comes out as a bull grey frame so I use Trim() to select all frames but the last one. If this doesn´t happen with your video, then u can skip this line.

[3] Needed or not depending on the frame size and DAR.
Needed if u intend to deal with overscan.
Example with a 1280x688 DAR 1:1.
As is not perfect 16:9:
Lanczos4Resize(720,458)
AddBorders(0,11,0,11)

With overscan of 8px top and bottom:
Lanczos4Resize(696,444) // my calcs gave me 694,442 but it complains that YV12 requieres multiples of 4
AddBorders(12,18,12,18)


All of the software used here is free and in constant development, so it will be easy to find support when needed.

Cheers.
