MKV to DVD

**paul.maddox** · January 12th, 2010

Hi,

I have a MKV video file that I want to write to DVD so that I can give it to a non-techy neighbour!

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this? Ideally from the command line if possible.

Thanks.

ps. I've attached the mkvinfo of the file in case it makes any difference.
