We are happy if people use our software, and convert their videos into MKV, whatever kind this may be. What we can not hold responsible for, from our perspecitve, is what our users are doing with these files, and where and how other people do get them. Let's assume for a second, that you got the MKV from a friend. When he made the MKV, he must have known there is no easy way of converting it into DVD, at least right now. So, what conclusion does that allow us ? a. He doesnt like you, and was trying to give you a hard time b. He doesn't care if you can make a DVD from it, or not c. He doesn't like a DVD to be made from his movie Did i forget anything ? We understand there is a need for some people to convert MKVs into DVDs. We were trying to inform them about at least one possibility to do that, and we even took the time to write a Guide about that, using a 3rd party software of which we have no sort of control (its makers even refuse to talk to us ?). Now, is it really fair to attack us about the encoding quality of another software ? Regards Christian matroska project admin roxanne schrieb: >Thanks, >You are correct.
