Creating a DVD from a MKV file and retaining all the audio tracks

[TioSolid]

Hi, I have a MKV file from a movie and would like to convert it to a DVD. The source file is very high in quality (7Gb total) and contains multiple audio / subtitle tracks.

I found FAVC could do the job, but will it keep all the audio and subtitles tracks in the output DVD? If not, is there any way to make a direct conversion (MKV > DVD) and keep all the "extras"?

no

no
you'll have to go manual, at least partly.

DVDFlick and MkvExtractGui might be worth a try. I haven't tried both multiple audio tracks and subtitles, but DVDFlick has the ability to add both. First you would need to extract the subtitles and audio tracks you want with MkvExtractGui. In DVDFlick add the original MKV file to your project, then add the extracted subtitles and audio tracks using "edit title" on the right side of the project page. There is a built in help file with pictures to guide you.
Good luck.

THanks very much for all the replies. Will check the DVD Flick tool when I arrive at home. It looks exaclty what I need

Well, it worked but the subtitles are a bit messy. When I should read "Can We Talk?" the .ass file says "Can We TaIk?"

Does anybody knows why?

So that is an I rather than an l in 'talk'?

What font was used in the subs? Someone might have used an uppercase 'I' to make the letter stand out more in the original subtitles, based upon the font being used.

Actually that .ass file was based on a .srt file which was OCR-generated.
And as we all know, cheapo OCR engines do suck.

P.S.: Your avatar is really annoying.

Yes, its an I (indian) instead of a l (lonely), but in the original subtitle (while watching the video) the sub is fine (no i instead of l).

I thought about the same thing. Is there any way to force mkvextract to use a given font instead of its default one for OCR'ing ?

And LOL about your comment of my avatar :P
