How can I get a .MKV file to .AVI - or onto a watchable DVD?

[Melissa]

I tried River Past Video Cleaner Pro but it just craps out at 690K when converting to avi.

This will split the video and audio out of the .mkv and then you can convert it to DVD

Their is no way to go from .mkv directly to a DVD.

I saw that one - too much work.  I've installed like 5 things and I can't even get the files to play on the computer, let alone converted to AVI.  Everything says it's missing things needed, even though I install everything it says it needs to work.

I'm over it.  Downloading AVIs, like I should have in the first place.

MKV is a great format, but I just dont think transcoding software is where it needs to be to support it.

MKV is just a container. You don't have to do anything to play it on your computer except installing something like the CCP.

Mkv is short for Matroska Video file. Go me!

I went through the same shit trying to download fansubs.

I downloaded a program called Haali Media Splitter and the Matroska Pack to get the files to play in Windows Media player (also had to mess with something called a VSFilter to get the sub titles to work).

Google those 2 files and try them out, the files will play on all my PCs now even my Media PC.  Can't help with the DVD thing

wait..so i can just burn Avi's onto dvds and they'll play on dvd players?

I've thought i would have to make them into 'dvd isos' or something like that.

No you need a tool to transcode the AVI to dvd format. See unlike a straight up AVI, a MKV file contains multiple media streams, and that, ultimately, is the problem. Additionally a lot of newer files required different codecs lik AC3 n shit like that and im not sure how much more complicated that can make things.
