MKV to DVD/VOB With no quality loss

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to convert a MKV file to a DVD without losing any quality?
It would be fine if the size of the MKV and the DVD were the same.
I just want to be able to watch one of my backed up movies on my DVD player without losing 20% quality.
I used ConvertXtoDVD, I lost quite a bit of quality and the file size got 300MB smaller, that could account for a bit of the quality loss, what if I just want to keep it at the same 4.38GB? Without Re(encoding/interlacing?) whatever its called, is there a program that changes file structure without redoing it and losing quality.

Thanks for the help!

 

Extracted MKV to .h264 and .dts want to make into DVD with no quality loss

I have succeeded in extracting a .h264 file and a .dts file.
Is it possible to make them both into a DVD without losing quality?
I have a new HDTV with home theater system and a very advanced new Sony HT system DVD player. Will it be able to read the .h264 files and .dts files if I burn them straight to a disc?

Paladinj,

 

You can try DVD Flick. It's free and by default makes the converted DVD the max size possible as to preserve quality. Give it a shot! Download it here: http://majorgeeks.com/DVD_Flick_d5530.html

. . . there's a how-to guide here: http://www.dvdflick.net/guide/index_en.html

GOOD LUCK!!!

Unless I misunderstood, you have a 4.38GB Matroska (MKV) movie file encoded with h264 video and DTS audio. The h264 video codec is more advanced and efficient than the MPEG2 codec used for DVDs (the VOB is a container file for the audio and video, similar to the Matroska file you have). As a result, the h264 video file will have a much higher resolution(quality) than an equivalent sized MPEG2 video. In order for your DVD to have the same resolution as your MKV file, it will need to be bigger.

If you use a double layer(8.5GB) DVD, assuming your DVD drive is dual layer capable, you will probably get much better results than the single layer(4.7GB) disc you used.

I don't know whether or not the Sony will play the .h264 and .dts files. Look in your owner's manual and it should list exactly what files it will play.

P.S. Both DVD Flick and ConverXDVD can be set for dual layer DVDs.
