Burning MKV Files

[captainfearless]

Is there a way of burning blu-ray remux MKV files to a disc so they are recognised as blu-ray and autoplay? Currently i can only create data discs.

Depends on how you define "auto play."  If you mean just pop in the Blu-Ray and have the MKV's play automatically, no.  If your Blu-Play supports native playback of MKV container files, you can just burn them to a disc and load them from it, but you have to do it manually.

 

If you want the MKV to automatically play when you insert the disc, you have to convert it to a Blu-Ray Video Disc first.  I don't know of any free options that do this, but there are several pieces of paid software out there.

Cheers for the reply. I found that tsmuxer does this and is free.

Some Blu-Ray players can directly play MKV (h264) files as I have one that can read them from a USB stick (and I would assume a disc to but I never tried from a disc off the top of my head) but I had to format the USB stick as NTFS file system as exFAT etc did not seem to work. I got a Samsung Blu-Ray player. but I typically don't use this and just use a under powered laptop I got to play back MKV files on the TV through HDMI instead.
