Software's like PowerDirector can burn all kinds of video files like home movies make from camcorders. Plenty of software that can go past the copyright and copy a DVD, not sure about Blu rays.

I have used DVDFab for many years. It can bypass copyright keys on Blue-rays and if it can't break a new encryption, the next update will.
I first got it before Blue-rays existed. You can also used it format aspect ratios for multiple phone devices or convert files types, almost anything related to discs with a brainless user interface. Used to rent at a Redbox machine for $1 and rip the DVD to a vob file to watch later or burn copies for 'personal use'.
Hi there
Loads of software to RIP DVD's -- including the re-surrected AnyDVD program.
I think the OP was wanting to CREATE a DVD ISO from mkv/mp4/other video files .
Usually with streaming options (PLEX / Chromecast etc etc) or direct play from a PC (VLC etc) there's no need to create a DVD but if you want to physically play on a "Bog standard DVD player" that doesn't have remote / smart facilities then you still need to create a DVD.
That's why I suggested the DeVeDe program. This will also add subtitles and menus / chapters to a physical DVD you create from the MKV / other video format files.
If the OP just wanted to RIP a DVD then as I said - zillions of programs out there - even for Blu Ray --although I think there's a bit of a problem with new Ultra HD (4K) rips -- some 4K netview rips are available from "Alternative sources" - you'll have to search for those yourself (Forum Rules on torrent etc links).
Here's the Linux GUI for the DeVeDe program (same for Windows) -- You don't need to create a Physical ISO -- it will create an HDD ISO too --you can burn that later to a physical DVD. Sometimes it's actually quite good to create an HDD ISO then you've got chapters and menus from say downloaded Rips etc.
I've actually started using this program again a bit more --I make some DVD's for my Grandma - I add Icelandic subtitles at times (she probably speaks better English than 99% of people in London these days !!! -- it's just a lot of the modern movies and TV series have appalling - and often fairly inaudible sound mix for dialog compared with effects -- Interstellar (graet movie though BTW) was one and that TV series Scandal (didn't realize English could be spoken so quickly !!!!) is another --and I have decent Ears and audio equipment --so does my Grandma. !!!!!!
Cheers

Full version of DVDFab will also convert mkv to DVD with pretty simple interface -
How to convert MKV video to DVD?
Hi there
@mrgeek .
It's also OK but won't add loads of different Audio tracks and subtitles. Chapterisation is also a bit of a problem too with this program.
Like all these things --there's usually several (equally good) suggestions --depends exactly on what you want the program to do.
DeVeDE is Free while Dvdfab isn't --could be another decision on which way to go.
