You could check if your cousin's DVD player is capable of playing back DivX files. This normally means MPEG4 APS frames in an AVI container. Sometimes these standalones also support external subtitle files which have to be in the same directory as the video file.
So if you are in this situation you could simply try to extract the video stream out of the mkv container into a AVI container (you will get into trouble when trying this with h264 material) and extract the subs into an external file. Then correct naming, burn everything to a data DVD and check if it works. Otherwise you have to reencode everything to MPEG2 to get a standard compliant video DVD. I don't know about the subtitles but I think you have to convert even these because the video DVD standard uses some bitmap font technique (can anyone verify that?) Jam it back in, in the dark. |
