mkv is not a typical video format that can be converted for burning without the use of an external program first. Usually mkv files are HD video, so it will need to be converted to regular resolution first.

this is the official mkv site with suggested programs that can do this:

Otherwise just search through these results for help:

Start up nero in standard mode not the smart start.

You do know that you can't play this dvd in a dvd-player, don't you?
