HELP! Burning a dvd

Good day friends,

As the title says, I´m looking for some help with burning a dvd. (haven't really done this before so forgive me if I come across as a dumbass)

I am aware that ideally you´d want a file/files that is/are ripped from a DVD itself when it comes to burning one. Which is sort of the same as copying.

However, the file is not available in this extension. I am trying to burn Samsara 2011 (docu) on a dvd for my gf's dad. Unfortunately, this hasnt appeared on DVD yet in Western countries. I have two downloads. One is a 1080p .mkv file and the other is a 720p .mkv file. I want to burn one of these on a DVD.

I've download some software to try and convert the mkv files into an extension that can be burned and turned into a dvd. Software I've tried so far: DVD Flick, DVDFab 9 and some videoconverters. For burning I've tried Nero and IMGBurn.

I've attempted to burn a DVD 4 times so far and all of the times have failed. I've watched some tutorials for the programms but apparently I'm too retarded to do it myself. The closest I got was a 3 second movie fast spin that could be watched on a dvd player :D.

So: Any tips on programms or do's/don't? Would be much appreciated. I will be reading your answers later tonight or tomorrow. Ty in advance.

TL;DR I'm trying to burn an .mkv file onto a dvd that can be read by a dvd player. Any tips/programms I can use? ty!

Expected non-useful douchebag comment. You think the programms I downloaded and used so far came flying out of nowhere? Thank you.

Ignore the above, download convertxtodvd and you're sorted. It'll convert the file and burn it for you so no need to fuck around with any other burning software.

You're welcome
Thanks man :) appreciate it.
