How to convert mkv files into dvd reader compatible format

Hi there!  that's my first discussion ever in this community. Hope you can help me and I thank you by now for support.
My question is pretty simple.
How can I convert a full HD .mkv file into something compatible with DVD readers for home use ( mpeg, avi etc.. ), keeping full HD quality ?
Assuming that I'm a beginner in codec, video converting operations and all stuff like that....
1) I'm using OSX 10.8.5  Mountain Lion
2) I tried using VLC 2.1 but result was pretty bad ( blurry video quality and no sound at all... starting from a perfect mkv source )
3) I tried with Divx Plus Converter 10 having error 2
As I will be converting videos rarely I'm looking for a free solution...  Any idea ??
Thanks

It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
which may help.
But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
"There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."

Maybe worth a try?

    How to convert jpeg files into Word

    Hi Eugene,
    I don't think you can convert an image to a Word document, but you could place the JPEG into a Word document using the Insert > Object command in Word.
    For other questions relating to Word, you will probably have more luck getting an answer if you post on the Microsoft forums (we can help if you're using Acrobat, or another Adobe product, but you'll find the Word experts on the Microsoft forums.)

  • How to convert csv files into java bean objects?

    Hi,
    I have a CSV file, I want to store the data availabale in that csv file into java bean, I am new to this csv files how can I convert CSV files into java beans.
    Please help me.
    Adavanced Thanks,
    Mahendra

    You can use the java.io API to read (and write) files. Use BufferedReader to read the CSV file line by line. Use String#split() to split each line into an array of parts which were separated by comma (or semicolon). If necessary run some escaping of quotes. Finally collect all parts in a two-dimensional List of Strings or a List of Javabeans.

  • Urgent How to convert wav files into mp3?

    Can anyone plz tell me how can i convert wav file into mp3 using JMF? tell me any sample programme, any method in JMF........ help me plz

    Examples could be found on the JMF Solutions page.
    Only I can say about mp3 through network - it's hardly possible. I recommend GSM for compression2transmit. It could be used via GSM content descriptor. I'm not sure, but I suppose MP3 is supported only for files, there's no MP3.RTP or such (if you want to transmit files, it should not cause any problems).
    About JavaSound - it does not matter... You still need JMF to be installed on Client, and AppletCapture to be enabled. Futrher - would it be DirectSound, JavaSound, or anything else - just the deal of JMF.
    I tried to use JavaSound capture with proceeding AudioInputStream to JMF, but failed to do this.
    About your problem - best solution seems like that:
    capture sound
    put it into processor
    set format to GSM
    transmit
    so then, server receives it and formats it as it likes.
    If you want to transmit exactly files, you should use just some of pure java after capturing. java.net, or such thing.

  • How to convert .doc file into .rtf file in Java?

    Hello All,
    I want to convert doc file into rtf format in java and for the same i am not getting any help so pls suggest some solution for that.
    Thanks and Regards
    only1Vinay

    MS-Word formats (DOC) are notorious for not being standardized from one version to another, so what ever you get will be version specific. If you must do the conversion, I suggest you do a MS-Script in Word to do it or one of the .Net languages. As stated the Word format from version to version is not standardized.
