Hello,

I'm new to Mac Forum, so i apologise if this is in the wrong category

I bought a iMac this Feb gone and am still learning. I was a PC user before and had never used a mac til that day. So i'm still a little slow

Anyway, i am trying to burn a mkv movie to a DVD to be able to watch on a DVD player.
Now before everyone states that this question has been asked a billion times over, i am still having no luck :/ I have been googling this topic for days now with no result

The movie is blue-ray and i don't want to loose quality when converting. Also the movie file is about 4gig.

So my question is; which program will convert / burn a mkv blueray movie to a DVD without losing quality?

Thanks ♥

PS: i am willing to buy software (if it's a good price and universal to other tasks)
PPS: I already tried Handbrake, iskysoft, VisualHub and VCL Player and failed miserably. So if anyone has links for instructions using one of those programs, that would help!

Blu-Ray movies are MUCH bigger than 4 GB. More like 40 GB. What you appear to have is a rip of a Blu-Ray movie that has been compressed to save space. That is a quality-losing process as it is. You cannot simply make it smaller still to fit on a DVD without losing yet more quality. Besides which, it's a pretty fair bet that this is a pirated movie you are talking about, and discussions surrounding those is off-limits here.
