@dashrender it's not for me, otherwise I would. Last time I burnt a dvd was a few years ago on windows.

Hi Does anyone know of any DVD burning software that will burn MKV files to DVD. I've tried dvdstyler which its good, but it comes up with config errors etc and burns blank dvd's.
havent used dvd's in a long time wondered if anyone had any ideas, I'm on debian/kde plasma.DVDs use MPEG-2 so MKV has to be re-encoded.
If you re-encode the files first so they are DVD mpeg-2 compliant you can burn them easily with dvdstyler.

@pete-s DVDStyler does recode them I believe. It's just the program that is having issues. I know quite a few windows programs automatically recode as well.

Well MKV is just a container and it is possible that the file is already MPEG-2. But yeah, not likely.

Yes, I know. I just mean that you probably have them in some odd mkv format so you might have better luck if you re-encode them with something else and then burn.

Might just tell my mate to bring a usb round, might be easier. he's got a brand new smart tv so it will be able to read the files.

yeah had my friend pickup a USB portable drive to get copies of my stuff - it's pretty much all worked directly with his tv...

K3B was my go-to app back in the day and it looks like it's still somewhat actively maintained
