    I have been trying to convert a MKV file to DVD. I've used so many programs already. Every time, while the file's FPS is 27.7, when I convert it, the final result is only around 18-20 FPS. Why? Furthermore, when I convert MKV to DVD, the result is usually choppy, including the audio. However, if I convert the MKV to AVI first, and then to DVD, the FPS is very very high (with low quality).

    You might give this little progie a try and see what you get. :) SUPER

    What are you trying to convert?? I would "force" it to use NTSC or PAL format depending on where you are from. I've used SUPER in the last couple of weeks and it seems so be pretty easy to get around.

    good luck..

    I'm converting an HD .mkv file to DVD format to play on a DVD player. Actually, the DVD doesn't seem choppy on my computer, but it's choppy on my DVD player (which is around 7 years old). Is that the problem?

    Anyways, I will give SUPER a try later.

    It could be your DVD player.

    Let's ask some questions. lol.

    DVD burner?
    media?
    Are you in NTSC land or PAL land?
    what is your DVD player model and make?
    You can play the 'file' or the 'dvd' from your computer or both?

    see if that gets us anywhere. :)

    I'm using Office Max DVD-R 4.7GB lol. Could that be the problem?
    NTSC
    DVD player is JVC XV-S300.
    I can play both the file and the DVD on the computer without lag.
    DVD burner is HI-VAL.

    I have all the cheapest brands...that could be why?

    HOWEVER, if I converted the MKV to AVI first, and then to DVD, there's no problem on the DVD player...and I'm using the same DVD burner, everything...

    So you're saying if you go thru "another" step you don't have any issues playing the DVD on your DVD player? lol<<<sorry but that's funny to some degree.

    Everything is the same except you run it thru an 'extra' program? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Sounds like a conversion issue to me. ;)

    Try SUPER and see what you get. Make sure you set a destination folder and force NTSC frame rate.

    It makes NO sense to me as to why you're having to take an extra step.

    What is the model # on your DVD burner? Are the DVD-R's coding out as RITEKF1 or RITEKF16? It shouldn't matter really, I use some of those as well. NOT great discs but should do ok.

    The thing that has me "wondering" about a conversion problem is the fact you can convert to another format then to the DVD format and it works fine on your DVD player. ;) Like I said try the SUPER progie and see what you get. :)

    good luck.... :D

    Well, when I convert directly from .mkv to dvd, the FPS is low, like 18. However, the picture quality is pretty good.

    When I convert from .mkv to .avi to DVD, the quality is lower (obviously), but the FPS is sky-high.

    What's the difference between the DVD Std. Compliant option and the Automode VCD, SVCD, DVD option? Which will give me a proper image or at least a folder to burn onto a DVD?

    (I'm talking about the SUPER proggie)

    Just leave it at the DVD Std. compliant option. ;) That'll give you the VIDEO_TS file IIRC.... lol. You can then burn with Nero or something similar to burn a TS folder or you can use IMGBURN to create an ISO file.... then burn with IMGBURN or whatever you wanna use for burning ISO's..... :D

    I just had it "finish" yesterday. (the SUPER program). I had DVD std. compliant, but all i got was a .vob file that was double the file size of the .mkv file. no TS folder.

    Nothing seems to be working. I think I'll just stick with the non-lagging low-quality DVD or the lagging high-quality DVD. Maybe it's really just my DVD player.

    You needn't to convert mkv to avi before burning MKV to DVD. I am using SPAM Converter which comes from SPAM official site. It can convert and burn mkv to dvd directly. You can download the software from SPAM download page . Good luck!
