I found that Free make video converter doesn't work very well as the converted video playbacks very choppy.

If you convert MKV files to AVI with Super does the quality degrade a lot or not really? i'm looking for an app that can convert mkv to avi/mp4 but no lose the quality and be able to burn them to dvd.

You could try using Avidemux to move the video streams into a new container without re-encoding. If it asks you to enable "Smart Copy", that probably means it's going to re-encode the video.

There is also XMedia Recode which has a "Video Copy" checkbox (located under the Video tab), but my personal experience is that it doesn't work properly in most cases.

I have an MKV file, I already converted it to play on Xbox/PS3 but when I try to create video audio files with DVDSanta it doesn't like the video or sometimes the audio? :s Thank you for the recommendations

i think xilisoft ultimate converts almost anything

Another happy Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate 6 user here :)

Its the only one I have found that is able to convert all kinds of videos without messing up things like screen aspect ratios.

It also very easy to use and is pretty fast too.

Works with just about any kind of video file.

Also for getting MKV to play on PS3 you may want to try mkv2vob

Mkv2ob DTS patching defeats Cinavia also :)

So you're trying to burn them to a DVD? There are great freeware programs you could try, such as DVD Flick and WinX DVD Author. There are plenty more listed under 07.05 CD & DVD -> Burners -> Video.

I've used DVDFlick but had issues with the audio becoming screwed up and out of sync.. i'll check some more out.

If all else fails, ConvertXtoDVD is one of the best commercial programs for converting video to DVD.

    • As it would on any other tech website whether it be Windows, Apple, etc. I wouldn’t expect it any other way.
    • Mozilla should shut down everything except the browser and the services they whitelabel (for example Firefox VPN from Mullvad). Everything else just cost them money and have never returned any revenue. Focusing in the browser is what makes sense considering what is going to change regarding their income sources. About Firefox and chromium... if they ever have to abandon Gecko because of financial issues it is more likely to use Apple's WebKit and not Chromium and Blink. WebKit is more versatile for Firefox because it will allow them even to keep Firefox's extension ecosystem. The same way GNOME Web which is a WebKit browser has experimental Firefox extension support.
    • I really dont like how they’ve put shadows under window elements making the sidebar and toolbar buttons look like they sit above the window itself. Looks very odd and clunky.
    • Rubbish. It's chock-full of ads and with manifest 3.0,the gloves are off. Google does not even pretend now. They want évil and want your data
