    Okay, here's my problem: I want to burn some anime's that are in .mkv format to DVD's so I can watch them on my dvd player. I've tried using Nero, but I don't think the format is compatible or whatever. I need to know the exact process for getting this .mkv movies onto a dvd.

    My second issue is that the anime's have 3 audio tracks, and I want to chose which audio track to burn on the dvd's....how do I do this? There are three different audio tracks that I can select with my VLC player on my computer, but the movies are defaulted to the one I don't like. And I have no idea how I would go about burning the movies to dvd with the audio track I prefer.

    Please let me know if any additional information is needed, thanks.

    Try using DVD Flick.
    Load/drag the title file onto the window.
    'Edit title' and select 'Audio'.
    Remove the audio track you don't want or move the order around to suit instead.

    Thanks for the reply, that appears to be a solution to my problems. But now I have some new problems.

    First, when I tried to create a DVD, it is taking FOREVER to encode the audio. As in, total elapsed time was around 45 minutes, and only 23% of the audio was converted. Is that normal? And that was just with one episode. I have a good computer too, quad core process, 4 gigs of ram, 7200rpm HD. I understand that this stuff can take time no matter what computer, but my estimates over around 3-4 hours per episode...that's just crazy.

    Second, apparentley I'm only going to be able to get about 3 episodes per dvd, but seems like a low amount of episodes to me. The file size of the videos I'm buring are only like 50mb, but somehow jump up to over 1g when I burn them. There has to be a way to get more episodes per disk.

    Code:

    That seems very small.

    The size of the DVD files is related to the running time of the source video.
    A standard DVD is good for ~3 hours, so converting three hours to mpeg2 can take a long time.

    I would drag my three hours of video into DVD Flick and let it run overnight.

    Note, I don't know if DVD Flick can take advantage of multiple CPUs, that maybe why it seems slow - and DVD Flick isn't the fastest to begin with.
    If you don't get any more responses, canvass the Videohelp site for more expert insights.
