i am having some trouble encoding .mkv and x264 so that it will be compatible with a regular dvd player, i am well aware that these files originate from DVD & bluray discs but i would like to get as higher quality film onto a dvd as possible and dvdrips aren't great when it comes to getting high detail. i have tried a few programs such as virtualdub & convert2dvd V.3 and i always get a lag between voice and picture

does anyone know of any reliable programs to use or a good guide to ensure that my encoding wont fail and be a complete wast of time.
