batch conversion for mkv to dvd disk

[The_WRATH]

hello, again, i need your guy's brilliant minds to help me convert a batch of dvd ripped xvid encoded mkv files to dvd disk. i already looked at the 2 guides on this site but they look hard, and i am pure nooby at encoding/conversion, so im looking for a program thats easy to use like winavi or divx2dvd, etc. something that gets the job done like 1,2,3 done

so far ive tried winavi and divx2dvd and both say something wrong with the decoder, like i need one or something, like winavi always says "you need the divx/xvid decoder installed" but i already installed the xvid with k-lite codec pack, and i just installed the newest divx.

any suggestions is appreciated
thanks

In order to help, more information would be needed. According to your subject I gues you want to convert mkv file. Take a look a these post:

If you have a bunch of files (over a dozen), I would recommenc using a script to process them. I dont know of any graphic program that can process a bunch of files properly. So mencoder (mplayer package) would be best (it has its own codecs, so you dont need to install anything else). But be warned. Creating script is not the hardest thing in the world. But you need to get use to programming a bit.

Here is one script I use to convert a bunch of ogm files to avi

#!/bin/sh

mkdir out

VIDOPTS="copy"

AUDOPTS="mp3lame -aid 1"
MENCODER="C:/Prog/mplayer/mencoder.exe"

for i in *.ogm
do
    echo $i    
    CMD="$MENCODER $i -oac $AUDOPTS -ovc $VIDOPTS -o out\\$i.avi"
    echo $CMD   
    echo
    
    $CMD
    
done

You can execute that on windows with the gnuUtils package (http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/)

Again, be advice, using this method is completely automated (it will process all your files without any human intervantions). But its not the easyest for a newbie. You will need to setup thinks and understand what you do.

I hope this helps you

It seems that DVD Santa 4.0 can read most MKV files and convert them into DVD http://www.dvdsanta.com , and it will support batch mode
