Video conversion question

Does anyone know how I can convert an .mkv file to a format that can be burned to a DVD on a Mac without loss in quality?

To cheap to buy your Blu-rays eh?

I've been wanting to know this for a while too.

It's a Discovery Channel program I downloaded in HD.

Thanks mate, but I don't see a link to download. There's only a link to a forum that probably has the link but I have to join in order to see it. I really hate signing up to forums I'll never again use in my life.

Do you have another link?

1. get darwine from http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/ (or latest at the moment http://www.kronenberg.org/download.php?d...-day.co.jp )
2. copy darwine folder and TriX to Applications
3. run trix and open the "terminal" app (inside utilities in applications folder)
4. in trix, tick "visual basic 6 runtime" and "windows scripting host 5.6" and hit install
5. in that terminal shell, after trix has run, type this:
# curl -O http://www.3r1c.eu/mkv2vob/mkv2vob.exe
# wine mkv2vob.exe INSTALLDIR="C:\\mkv2vob"

in order to run mkv2vob use this command in the "terminal" app:
# /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/wine ~/.wine/drive_c/mkv2vob/mkv2vob.exe

Until we have a more "robust" system for wine (such as crossover has ...) we need to do this "by hand" - maybe crossover works too... don't know yet

You can also make a shell script with that line above, and double click on it. Just create a file with that line inside, do "chmod +x that_file" in terminal, and you should be able to double click that file in order to run mkv2vob.

LOL this conversion step is actually using Windows Libraries and an emulator. Just use a friend's PC to convert

AVI2DVD

Free, and despite it's name, if you've got the codec on your PC for the source file you're using it will convert anything to DVD.

Works very well.

LOL. No they don't.

Of course there are dozens of programs that will convert the video to any existing format with just one click. Most of these programs, however, are unable to encode the video without losing quality in the process. That's true for PC and Mac programs. Since this is a 720p video, it's very important that no quality is lost.
