    I have been battling this and researching for a week now.
    I will be playing my output on a sony bx1 blu ray player

    I have a couple of 4.37 gb mkv files
    Whenever i try to make blu ray compliant files using tsmuxer the output is always around 4.8ish+ which is to much to fit onto a dvd-r.
    I read through some posts and the only suggestion i could see was to use the cut option in tsmuxer.
    I tried this but to fit on dvd-r (4.37gb cut) it cut before the movie ends.
    Now is there anyway that i can get these files on a dvd-r.
    Hopefully someone can help me ive exhausted myself with this.

    ive also used mkv2vob and i guess the size selection only applies when you re-encode. im sure someone has an answer... anybody

    You would have to re-encode them.

    Well i found mkvextract and have extracted the audio file im assuming after i lower the bitrate i can just join it together with the video file with mkvmerge.
    What program is recommended to lower the bitrate on the dts audio file ?

    Hi,

    Well of course !

    Your taking a BluRay video stream, and reducing it to DVD resolution.
    Then you want to make it fit on a DVD5, so again reducing the bitrate.

    Make is a Dual Layer (DVD9) output, it should look a little better.
