How to put 3 movies in a DVD

I have .mkv files (around 700 MB) and I need to burn them to a DVD as in ones we buy. What all software will I need ? And what steps are involved.

Use DVD Flick.

Or if you have Full version Nero then Nero Vision does it too.

use imgburn add files & write it.

The last time I tried using iSkysoft DVD authoring tool, a single movie took 3 DVDs. Will DVD Flick convert into proper format and compress it to on be on a single DVD ?

Yes. DVD Flick does everything.

PS : Converting (Encoding) will take time depending on your processor. On my i5-2400 it took around 3hours for 3 movies on a single DVD.

Nero is as efficient DVD Flick.

^^Yes. Nero Vision is also great. But it's a bloatware and paid app. Whereas DVD Flick is free and Open Source.

Thanks all.

@ krishnandu.sarkar

Which encoding formats should I choose ?

Encoding Format..?? It does by default. You don't need to do anything extra.

Thanks

You are welcome

Tried DVD Flick, DVD meter gets 98 % with just one mkv file worth 700 MB.

I think as mkv is a highly compressed format when converted to avi or VOB its size would fill one regular DVD. By the way is the mkv ripped from a dvd or cd or bluray

I wonder why would you want to burn movies on a disk by "as in ones we buy" method anyway!
The only reason you may want to do that is to make it readable on a DVD player. But IMHO making such DVD's is a tremendous compromise on quality as you yourself experienced while using DVD Flick.

If you don't have "no other choice" I would advice you to simply refrain from making dvd-player-compliant disks and just burn them as normal files, to be played on a PC, and which allows you to have many movies on a single disk.
If the issue is to view them on a TV, then I think other option is to connect your TV to the PC using HDMI. But that would only work if TV supports it.

Now's your call.

^^Well not everyone have that option right.

Sometimes my parants wants to see few movies for which I need to make them Video DVD watchable in DVD Players. There's no other option

@OP Well for your case all I can say what @aswin1 said. May be they are highly compressed. You may try by degrading their quality, you can set quality as lowest which I of-course don't recommend.

Thanks for the replies. @ aswhin is right, I want to work them on normal DVD player. It seem not so easy. I will live with one movie per DVD. Thanks again.

@meetdilip: u can use other converters such as format factory or SUPER to convert mkv to vob format & then burn them in DVD using nero...

if u want a menu system in DVD then use Nero Vision

Thanks Zangetsu. But when I try that method, file size gets big.

Handbrake is what you need.
You have to manually recode/encode those files for Proper Compression/Format.

I have handbrake. I am not sure what values to use.

My all time favorite is "ConvertxtoDVD".

It does exactly what you want to do or what DVDFlick seems to be doing.

Its paid.

CDBURNERXP is also a good tool

It simple burns the file, does not compress.

^ Ohk.

that is bcoz of higher bitrate values while converting to vob.
set the bitrate values & resolution manually to get low file size :-D

This wil help you to get rough idea of what those fields are meant for and what values you should put in.
There are better Guides Online to get throughit though for now that should suffice.

Thanks.
