How to Use E.M. Free MKV Video2Dvd — Step-by-Step Guide

Requirements

• Windows PC with DVD burner
• Blank DVD (DVD-5 or DVD-9 depending on size)
• E.M. Free MKV Video2Dvd installed
• Source MKV files (verify they play)
• Optional: external subtitle (.srt) files

Steps

1. Install and launch E.M. Free MKV Video2Dvd.
2. Insert a blank DVD into your burner.
3. Click Add (or drag & drop) to import your MKV files.
4. If needed, add external subtitles or choose embedded subtitle/audio tracks for each file.
5. Arrange file order and create chapters if the program offers a chapter editor.
6. Choose output format/standard: NTSC (North America/Japan) or PAL (Europe/most other regions).
7. Select aspect ratio (16:9 or 4:3) and any basic edits (trim, crop) the app provides.
8. Enable/create a DVD menu (optional): pick a template, set background image/music, and assign chapter entries.
9. Choose output target: burn directly to disc, create an ISO, or save a VIDEO_TS folder.
10. Configure encoder/settings (if available): target bitrate/quality, audio encoding (AC3 recommended for compatibility).
11. Click Start or Burn and wait for conversion and burning to finish.
12. When complete, test the DVD in a standalone DVD player or VLC to confirm video, audio, subtitles, and menu function.

Quick troubleshooting

• If disc won’t play: verify NTSC/PAL matches player/region and that audio is AC3 or MP2.
• Sync issues: recheck source file; try re-encoding audio to AC3.
• File too large: choose DVD-9 (dual layer) or reduce bitrate/convert to multiple discs or an ISO.
