How can I burn mkv files in win 7 dvd maker

It doesn't seem to recognise them, like HD files

You'll probably need to either convert the files, or use something else to handle the burning. I'm sure there are some free burning apps that would handle the task.

Thanks but easier said than done - I've looked through a buunch

According to a quick perusal of the links below, Win DVD Maker doesn't support mkv files. Finding a good converter seems to be the solution. Finding the right solution may just take a bit of research and a spindle of DVDs (or a pack of DVD-RWs) to get the desired results. Here are the links:

Thanks - I've waded through a bunch of free ones -no success yet

I turned up a bunch of info with a quick Google Search, including a guide on a renowned site.

Thanks but none of these work. Things like DVDFlick and Imgburn don't recognise and others cost $
It's no huge deal but it's getting a matter of principle now!!Still havent found a freebie

Win X DVD Author works fine with mkv files. Discovered this by accident as mkv isn't listed in the supported video files drop down box. But just select 'all files', then add the mkv file and make the DVD!
