    Okay, I found some stuff about mkv because I downloaded some stuff off Azureus before in that format and i was wondering what it was. It's just pretty much a high quality format, so it's like, really big.

    Basically, just convert it using WinAvi to "DVD" format. You'll get two folder inside thta DVD_01 folder. When you burn it, just select the Video_TS and it should be fine.

    MKV can CONTAIN different things. In most cases, it contains one video stream and one audio stream. Problem i s if u put it into the blender (namely WinAVI) which just shoves everything into 1 pattern it won't work. Its cause rates of audio and video are different in general.

    Methods:
    Strip the audio and video as independent <------- which means you have to download a program (NOT WINAVIXXXX)

    some programs which will help :
    Super : http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
    Prism : http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html
    or look it up on http://www.free-codecs.com/ for converters

    Rip audio and Mp3 format and video to AVI

    then merge into 1 file = complete

    Pros of MKV = multiple audio and subs
    Cons: What ever your facing - long and meaning less stuff xD

    One of friends said to try it, but i nvr got a chance. I still prefer Virtual Dub and Virtual Dub Mod - Can make mkvs straight to Mpegs1/2


    I tested ConverXtoDVD end of last year. I followed that ConvertXtoDVD guide to turn those files into DVD files with a menu and then burn them on to a 4.7GB. Everything worked and all - can choose dif subs. So then I tried burning the same VOBs using Nero but that didn't work either =.=
