Overview

I downloaded some MKV movies and now I want to burn two of them to DVD for long term storage. My friend told me to convert the MKV to MPEG-2 and then burn the converted MPEG-2 to DVD. Is what he said right? If so, what tool can I use to convert the MKV to MPEG-2?

I have the need to batch convert MKV to MPG files. Is there some software which can help me to batch convert the MKV to MPG?
