Can I get this to play on a DVD player in any way?

Of course, just grab MKVtoolnix and convert the 2.1 version, then burn it to disc, all modern DVD players should be able to play MKV file. I ran into some problems with it, but that doesn't mean you will.

Unless you have a Sony player, they apparently have problems reading MKVs. My Sony Blu-ray player can't read them, while I have no problem with my mom's LG. If yours can't read MKVs, grab Handbrake, drag and drop Harmy's DeEd and convert to mp4. It should work in my experience.
