Matroska to DVD

[Khain]

I have a Matroska (.mkv) file with two tracks, one is video (mvkinfo tells me its V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC) and one is audio (A_AC3). How can I convert this to a DVD structure to watch on my standalone? All help greatly appreciated, thank you!

Copying the original DVD would be much simpler than making a DVD out of a questionably legitimate backup file.

try
mencoder -oac copy -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf -vf scale=720:480,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=8500:keyint=18:vstrict=0:aspect=16/9 -ofps 30000/1001 -o outfile.mpg "infile.mkv"

with mencoder, then author with dvdauthorgui, burn with whatever you want.

You may want to try SVCD2DVD. It converts almost anything to DVD format/structure without lossy reencoding. Very handy.

Sure.
Still, may be it's worth a try - even if it reencodes.
