How Do I Burn a .mkv file?

[Variable]

Im having troible burning a 4.5gb .mkv file, does anyone know how?

Same as any other file. Problem is though that a 4.7GB DVDR disc is only ~4.37GiB, so your file would be too big.

That is assuming that you meant 4.5GiB's. gb would be gigabits, since b = bit and B = byte.

Giga can be measured in binary or metric. GiB specifies that the unit is definitely binary where as just GB could be either as in 4.7GB's for a DVDR in metric or 4.37GB's for a DVDR in binary where you use 1,024 instead of 1,000.

You need to use a bigger disc or decrease the filesize, by re-encoding, dropping streams, cutting some off, etc.

unless you convert the file to DVD format, burning it to a disc will only give you a backup file copy of the file

many people using nero or other 1 click tools confuse convert and burn

the 1 click tool converts the file to dvd format by re-encoding it then it creates the DVD files then it burns the disc, a multi-step process

a 4.5 gig mkv file would turn into 13 gigs OR more of dvd files and won't fit on one DVD NOT even a double layer DVD
