Converting MKV to a format which fits on a DVD fpr PS3

[Aeropars]

Guys,

I have some downloaded films in MKV format and want to play them on my PS3. I converted it to AVCHD using ts muxer however the file size was too much for a standard DVD. The file size on download looks like its been compressed to fit to a DVD but during convertion it goes over the DVD size.

Can anyone tell me if its possible to put it onto a DVD somehow? Ideally in AVCHD format.

You'll probably have to change the resolution or bit rate to get it to fit.

THanks for the reply. Do you know how I can do that? Can I do that in TSMUXER or do i need something else?

[Ian]

Not sure. I've never tried resizing AVCHD. I'm guessing something like CyberLink PowerDirector could do it.

VideoRedo plus will edit and split files and convert them to quite a few different formats. I edit and convert all my HDTV .TP caps from my HDTV card with it then after that I run the Mpeg it makes through TSMuxer to make the AVCHD files in it's own folder that I can then burn directly to DVD with ImageBurn.
The trick is to cut the files down small enough to fit one DVD then maybe make a second folder with part 2 if the original file is too big to fit one disk, or use DL disks.
VideoRedo isn't free but they offer a trial version if you want to test drive it and see if it works OK for you. http://www.videoredo.com/en/Download.htm?download=plus they have a forum and web site as well. I'll have to see if it supports your format, I usually do .TP with it and I think it does a few others as well.
