    Good day to all, i have a lot of MKV files and until now i havent had any problems.... but them my kids grew up and "BOOM" it all went to hell, before i did not have any problems playing them as MKV, sure just select the folder and then just search for the movie you wanted.. but "THEY CANNOT READ YET D:"

    So i come once again for your expertiese help after a long time, my kids know how to use the BD player as a breeze, is there a way i can Enconde a 1080p MKV file to a DVD respecting the 1080p or at least downsamplig it to 720p without having to convert them to a 720x480 standard DVD?.

    I don't have a BD burner so i'm limitted to a DVD Burner.... is it even possible to create somekind of DVD that plays high resolutions like a BluRay?, i tried creating a AVCHD disk but it only showed a black scren for some seconds and then returned me to the menu...

    What i only want is for my kids to be able to grab the box containing the DVD Disk and put it in the BluRay player, and automatically load the video and not look blurry or crappy, just as if they were putting in a normal BD disk. I really don't care about menus or anything, because the size of my MKV's are around 3GB each so it doesn't matter

    My player is a DMP-BDT220 from Panasonic

    Best regards an i hope you can help

    you can try AVCHD output on dvd media with , Bd-rebuilder or Multiavchd.

    You have to re-encode them when you see a black screen ( your mkv are not bluray compliant)

    does any of those programs automatically reencodes the files or do i need to do that with a separate software like XmediaRecode?

    if they are too young to read how are they going to pick a disc to watch? for little ones they won't give a hoot if it's not pristine hd. since you don't have the tools to create bluray then just make old fashioned dvds for them. they are cheap and you will need to replace them if toddlers are using them. try avstodvd

    mmmm because i have a label maker that i bought for when i created homemade DVDs, they cannot read but they know the pictures of their movies.... or am i wrong aedipuss.... and of course they do... once i put a scooby doo movie to them on standard resolution and when they saw it they told me.. both of them "DADDY WHY IS SCOOBY SO BLURRY" and i was Holy S#!T..... so kids today know what they are seying.

    Do you know something about converting the MKVs to AVCHD to be autoplayed on the BD player?

  8. I'd check first if that player supports showing pictures/icons for video files , for example, if you have movie "Scooby Doo 1.mkv", add "Scooby Doo 1.jpg" in the same folder if your player would support showing that.

    Then perhaps you can find some app for panasonic that can do the same. etc.

    If that all fails then I'd consider getting cheap media player , those support that feature, so you just add those jpg's or player even can generate those pulling them from web (indexing files).

    Yes Bd-rebuilder will automatically re-encodes your files. Multiavchd too but it is more complicated.
