i wanted to know if any of the DVD player in the Indian market support/play a matroska [.mkv] file.
especially those USB DVD Players..

What i intend to do is write a Data DVD containing a .mkv movie file and play it on the DVD Player, will that be possible ?

hummm i dont think an player would b able to do so!!!

I do not think any standalone DVD player can handle matroska files. Convert the .mkv file to DivX or XviD or something like that.

about that .. i wanted to know if that would deteriorate the audio video quality of file ?

Best option would be getting the original source from which the .mkv rip was made and then re-rip it to DivX or XviD.

There is a fare chance of deteriorating quality when re-encoding the .mkv file but I hope the quality will be moreover same if right encoders are used.
