X264 to DVD

[MaxPlanck]

Hello,

I've been looking around for some specific information on how to convert a video encoded with x264 to standard DVD. The file I have uses an .MKV container. There must be a thread somewhere about this topic, but I can't seem to find anything. Could someone point me in the right direction?

ConvertXtoDVD
should work just fine with numerous formats like mpeg-2, xvid, h264
and it does decent compression for 1 pass mpeg-2 video

Thanks, but isn't there a manual way to do this using freeware?

Sure, just encode the video to MPEG-2 with HC or libavcodec and re-encode the audio track if necessary. Then mux them together and author a DVD with some appropriate tool, such as dvdauthor.

Video input and resizing can be done with AviSynth, MPlayer or ffmpeg, for example. Avidemux could also be a viable alternative to the traditional toolchains.

Hi!how to convert a video encoded with x264 to standard DVD. The file I have uses an .MKV container...The answer would depend upon the nature of the source material that you used to create the .MKV:

Which was your original source material a standard DVD, BluRay disc, HD-DVD, hi-res satellite capture, standard television capture, etc.?

Everyone, thank you for your suggestions:

The source material was a high res satellite capture, encoded using x264 and an .MKV container.
