• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Converting mkv to anything can be a bit of a nightmare to be honest as it's just a container that can house many different audio and video types.

That said a good place to startis here:

USE HANDBRAKE!!

I was needing to convert form .mkv to .avi. Select your file and press convert. It really is that easy.

Old version of Handbrake only, 0.9.3 I think was the last to handle avi.
If not ffmegx will do it too, but Handbrake is way better.
