How to convert matroska MKV to AVI or OGM to AVI

Matroska .MKV file and .OGM are new container formats similiar to .AVI. They can contain DivX, Xvid video, OGG audio, several audio tracks, switchable subtitles. But if you want it to play it on a standalone dvd player with divx/xvid support you must convert it to AVI with MP3 audio and text subtitles(if any). No reencoding of the video is required, the audio will be reencoded to mp3.
