Well, not familiar with the Moviemaker programme as such, but to my
knowledge most DVD players will not play such file formats, so if you want
to play it like a standard DVD you will have to convert to full DVD .. it's
a bit like burning MP3s to an audio CD, but then you probably know that
already.
I assume that whatever you can do with .avi files, with the right software
and codecs, you should be able to do with .mkv as well. But it really
depends more on the type of encoding used rather than the container file
that happens to hold them.
I know this can all be a bit confusing and I haven't quite gotten the hang
of all the different video encoding methods myself. Best thing is just to
try and see if it works.
BTW programmes like winamp, media player and vlc should be able to play your
.mkv files, too. however, you may have to download special codecs if they
don't immediately work.

MKV is a metroska video format container. It can be used to host a number
of
video/audio formats. I think it may become the new standard, replacing
avi.
Anyway, I'm not sure what you mean by asking if you can burn it to
disc....do you want to make a playable DVD?

Hi,
What is an mkv file and can you burn it to a disc? I downloaded something
but it had an mkv extension and once I entered on it, movie maker opened
up.
Thanks for any explination/clarification.
