Convert *.mkv video file to *.avi

Recently my brother got me some movies in a .mkv format. Hi-Res rips of movies suitable to play on HD Screens.

But these files do not directly play on some DVD players. We need to convert them to a .avi format.

A open source application mencoder, helped me convert the file to an .avi format
