how to convert a mkv with chaptering to DVD?

[axodry]

I am having a hard time trying to convert these mkv files with chaptering to dvd. Normally I would use convert x to dvd and would work perfectly. But this mkv file has been edited in a way where when I try to convert it to dvd, it would only convert 5 minutes of the file only and then go on to the next file. Can anyone help????

Try avs2dvd, which is better quality than ConvertXtoDVD.

However I have no idea (and I suspect that you don't, either) what you mean by

Tyr posting a mediainfo tree view of the mkv file here so we can see it

Hi Gun

This is what he wrote about what he did with that mkv file :

"I choose to use .mkv format, it is the least supported format on the different streaming sites. I also mess around with video and audio tracks. I won't go into what I did, but it makes it very difficult to convertt it to .avi format or split it up into smaller chucks. In doing so, some media players will have issue playing this file correctly. "

I guess he did it so it will not play on the stream site but all I want to do with the mkv file and is to make it into a dvd so I can watch it in my stand alone dvd player , rather than watching it on my laptop.

He also wrote this :

Here are some test results. Note, this file has mkv chaptering.

Media Player Classic/Home Cinema - plays fine, it will ignore the what I did.
Windows Media Player(w/ right codec pack) - plays fine, it will ignore what I did.
VLAN(on Mac/PC) - will not play correctly.
Popcorn Hour A-110(shoud be same for WD media player) - use chapter skip to go around what I did.
XBMC on old XBOX(doesn't support .mkv chaptering) - but you use the regular skip to go around what I did.
Mplayer(on Linux/Mac/PC) - same as XBMC, since XBMC is using Mplayer, try to use seek to go around what I did when it stops playing.
BSplayer(doesn't support .mkv chaptering) - try to use seek to around around what I did. "

I would start with mkvextractgui to see what is int he file, and to try and extract the content back to elementary streams. mmg can then be used to re-assemble these into a standard mkv for converting, or you could use tsmuxer to create an m2ts, which avstodvd will happily use.

Frankly, he sounds like a dick.
