Re: Re: Your Matroska to DVD guide

I am too stupid :
http://www.matroska.org/technical/guides/dvd/DVDSanta/index.html ...
:-( .....

I just copied this page from the original folder, without any
modifications. No idea why our Spreadsheets arent used on it ... can
somebody please help ?

The landing page, with links to Afonics Convert X-to-DVD guide is here
: http://www.matroska.org/technical/guides/dvd/index.html and looking
ok so far. Now, if i manage to extract the HTML of the Guide only from
Afonics page, and can successfully convert it to X-HTML (to make
everybody happy :-) ) so i can upload it to our site, its not looking
so bad overall.

Only God knows when i will have time to make a VLC Guide for MPEG2
conversion, or to do the same with mediacoder. But a start is made :-) !

Hi matroska Team,

i'd like to change our website directory structure from

www.matroska.org\data\technical\guides\dvd

to

www.matroska.org\data\technical\guides\dvd\santa (where the existing
Guide should be copied to)

and

www.matroska.org\data\technical\guides\dvd\xtodvd

and then, over time, try to add Afonic's X-to-DVD Guide and a general
DVD conversion landing page, linking to the individual Guides.

Comments please

I'm fine with that. You might also look at VLC to reencode files to
MPEG2 and then use a DVD tool to make nice .VOB files

Hi,

I am Iosif, creator of www.dvd-guides.com website and I want to

comment your MKV to DVD Conversion Guide as found in

http://www.matroska.org/technical/guides/dvd/index.html

Let me start by saying that I really love matroska container as it has

all the feature the advanced video user wants!

Back on the subject now I want to bring to your attention that

DVDSanta is probably one of the worst programs to do this guide for,

especially since its in Matroska's official portal.

Let me explain. I have done a guide for DVDSanta some time ago which

you call still find here:

http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/31/59/

The problem with it is that development is practically finished as

from version 3.0 you can see in my site they jumped directly to the

4.0 one in your the only change is subtitle support. There are loads

of bugs still there (search in any forum to find out), they never

answer support calls (I asked them stuff many times on behalf of my

users but never replied).

If you ask me, they are practically closed or this is their 3rd job

and keep an eye from time to time. Your emails are not stuck in some

support guy, they are just never read trust me.

It is also quite weird to offer this guide to the users adding that

you cannot add all the audio tracks and that dvdSanta does not support

MKV by default.

IMHO the very best solution is to add another guide for ConvertXToDVD.

http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/

Native MKV support, adds both audio channels and is well supported by

a well known company.

Please feel free to use stuff from my guide if you want, it is located
here:
