Convert MKV to AVI

Hi Ted, I would recommend Wondershare Video Converter. It's free and can be downloaded using the following hyperlink: http://www.wondershare.com/pro/free-video-converter.html

Its own blurb says:

It's an absolutely free and easy to use video converter (Windows 8 supported). It assists you to convert to tons of video & audio formats free and easy, making them compatible with all devices with great quality. Besides essential conversion ability, it also provides in-program editing functions like trimming, cropping, rotating, merging, adding subtitles and watermarks, etc. to enrich your digital enjoyment.

Ignore the Windows8 bit - there's a Mac version too. I've used it myself and have been very happy with the results. I can't guarantee it will do the conversion you want (because I haven't got any MKV files myself, but it's pretty versatile. Good luck.

Regards,

Fred

I found a video tool which suits you most. It not expensive and runs well on Mavericks. Most of all, the converted video will keep the same quality with the original video. It's a MKV video converter from Mac App Store.

Are you thinking of graphical, or command-line converters?

On the command line, I have good success with FFmpeg.

If you would like to use a video converter with GUI, AppGeeker converter can convert from MKV into AVI, and every other format imaginable.

I've been reading so many different forums on how to convert MKV to AVI. Finally, I summarised three solutions:

First one: HandBrake . This tool is a free and open-source multi-threaded transcoding app. It supports nearly any videos including WMV format and has Mac version and Windows version.

Cons:

1. HandBrake is too professional to handle for most people;

2. It doesn't support MOV as output format.

Second one: there are many third party software which supports converting MKV to AVI. I just test one of them. It's professional yet easy to use and the service is excellent. And there is a step by step guide about how to use this tool .

Cons:

1. Most of them are not free.

Third one: Online-Converter . This kind of converter does a great job on file conversion.

Cons:

1. Like most online converters, the free version of this tool only allows you to convert videos smaller than 100MB. It's too small for video conversion;

2.Your MKV video should be upload to the internet to be converted. This means the risk of pravite information leak is possible.

Hi, check this one:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-mate/id592736614?ls=1&mt=12. It can not only convert MKV to AVI,it supports many formats. I think it is good. Anyway, it is not freeware. But I think it is acceptable. When I bought it, I was given a coupone code. You can contact to see if there is a coupon code.

I suggest you to try Mac Video Converter program. It supports batch conversion from MKV to AVI. But it's not free. It costs 40 dollars or so.
