This should be simple, but I may shoot myself. (DVD+R)

Hello,

I've asked other forums about this, but I get bombarded with software options, and I can't comprehend what they are telling me. My brain is literally sizzling.

IF anyone can just give me a straight answer that would be much appreciated! haha

I have a verbatim DVD+R DL disc. I have a Sony blu-ray player (BDP s360)

Using ImgBurn, can I burn a .mkv video, to the DVD+R DL verbatim disc, for it to play on the Sony blu-ray player?

Or is this impossible? If it isn't, will ImgBurn do all the work for me, or is there a trick to it ?

HELP ME!

does the mkv fit on a dl? if so you can burn it to disc as a copy of the mkv. whether it plays or not has nothing to do with putting it on a disc, it depends on if the sony is capable of playing that one specific file.

if the sony can't play that video file then you would have to convert it to something it can play. a choice would be avchd. you could try multiavchd or other software to do the conversion.

I had a look at the specs http://store.sony.com/p/BDP-S360/en/p/BDPS360#specifications but it doesn't say anything about mkv playback. Have you been able to play mkv files on the player?

Hi,

This is my first time burning a disc to play on the blu-ray player, and I checked the link you sent, and it seems it doesn't play the mkv format.

In that case, I will convert the .mkv to AVCHD, I believe the blu-ray player can use that format.

The mkv is only 5GB, and the DL verbatim disc I think is 8.5!

So, I will covnert the .mkv to AVCHD using a converter, and then just burn using ImgBurn?

you could probably have multiavchd re-encode to a size that would fit on a single layer dvdr.
