MKV to DVD9-DL (2) discs

[ranosb]

Whats the best way to convert a MKV to DVD9-DL spanning to (2) discs? The Mkv is 13gb so wanted to put it on (2) DVD-DL discs...

I used ConvertXtoDvd setting it to Dvd9(8100gb) with Mkv's that were 6-8Gb, it does have a custom setting so what would happen if you set the custom setting to 16200Gb? Can you burn this to (2) DVD-DL discs?

Maybe you would have to use DvdShrink on the VIDEO_TS folder to cut the video in 1/2 and save as two different ISO's...

What are avchd-dvd's? I heard using Vegas Pro or Roxio software you can burn HD on a DVD9 playable on a blueray player(limited to certain amount of time)
I do own a blueray player and HDTV(1080p), the Blank Blueray discs are still too expensive!...
Thanks!

I've done this a few times.

Usually I've ran uncropmkv as some mkvs have trouble especially with the aspect ratio.
Then I use tsmuxer to output in blu ray/avchd format. And finally burn with folders with Imgburn.

But for those that need to span 2 dics I use popBD to output the bluray/avchd folders with custom split.
BDrebuilder may also work as it can split also but I haven't tried it for this purpose yet.

What are you trying to create ? A DVD ?
What is the running time of the movie ?


To create two DVD structures you will have to first split the MKV file, then convert each part.

However do not confuse the 13GB file size of the MKV with the size required to put the same movie onto DVD. Unless it is a 6 hour epic, you will most likely only need a single DL disc.

Movie length 2:17 1920X818, how would you split the MKV?

Are you trying to keep it as an MKV file, or convert it to DVD ?

Interesting input gents...

I did find these guides for help with avchd...

Using tsMuxeR

DVD9, so like you pointed out the org size is just from the resolution source creating a much bigger file, and convertXtoDVD would be fine at DVD9?...
Was just wondering too how to split an Mkv file for reference.

Why does popBD and uncropmkv both point to the same link of a different name multiAVCHD?

It will happily fit on a single DL disc when converted to DVD compliance.

A long winded way to split the file would be TSMuxerGui/TSMuxer to split and create a .M2TS file, then use Xvid4PSP in Copy mode to create new MKV files from each part. However this will lose any subs in the file.

If you bothered to go there you would see that all by the same author. His page has links to the actual threads at Doom9.
