* If i compress 7.4gb to 4.3gb to fit on DVD5, it will losse its quality so i decided to convert it to DVD9 using VSOConvertxtoDVD,But last time i burned to dvd9 using Nero 7 after that i can't play it on my DVD... so this time i decide to get help form you guys...
* My DVD supports MP4 and DIVX so...if i convert the above mkv files to mp4 / divx format..am i going to get the same quality ?

Nero is an average burning application for DVD5, and useless for DVD9.

Use Imgburn to burn the disc, and use Verbatim DVD +R DL discs. Anything else is asking for coasters.

The restrictions on bitrate means that in all likelihood you will get a lower quality Divx encoded file than you would if you encode to DVD9. Personally, I would use FAVC because I believe HCEnc is a better quality encoder than ConvertXtoDVD.

Or if you want to make an avi divx/xvid then you can try xvid4psp, open the mkv, choose AVI Hardware under format, change the resolution to 676 x XXX under Video->Resolution and convert. It will probably take ages to convert and with similar quality as dvd so it's probably not worth it.....
