I think you can find a dozen MKV-AVI converters on the internet :S.

Use MKVExtractGUI to extract video, audio and subtitle from MKV files.

Then, you can multiplex (join) all those elements together with VirtualDubMOD.

MKVExtractGUI:

VirtualDubMOD:

After installing MKVtoolnix, unzip MKVExtractGUI to the same folder where MKVToolnix is installed to.

Taken from its site:

MKVtoolnix will evolve into a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files(mkv). These are command line tools but mkvmerge GUI is included (mmg.exe). Use MKVExtractGUI to extract/demultiplex mkv video and audio files.

Download MKVtoolnix:

I'd suggest actually linking to the newest version of MKVToolNix if you're going to do it - it's up over 2.0 now (and the links given to 1.6.0 are dead - just go to the main bunkus.org site). VirtualDubMod can open MKVs that use VFW codecs, btw. Or you could use MKVMerge to strip out the subtitles and audio and then DirectShowSource them.

I am not really into any updates with codecs and I was only giving him a clue so i did not bother checking the links

. My bad.
