What is the best app to convert .mkv into .avi?

I haveMKVTools but I don't like it. Many movies after converting show problem in audio.

Thanks!

Handbrake has the option to add external subtitles to your .mkv and then transcode it properly. Have you tried that using the Apple TV preset?

Yes, I've already tried Handbrake. But it is not possible to setup subtitles (size, font,...) in Handbrake. Then the subtitle in the file doesn't fit well in the screen.
🙁

Ah, okay. I never encoded for the Apple TV, thus I always used .avi in earlier versions of Handbrake and used VLC and external subtitles.
With .mkv as output option in Handbrake, I can add external subtitles to the transcoding process and can switch between subtitles in VLC Player or Movist.

But for your purposes, it seems you need to transcode via MPEG Streamclip. And then again with whatever application you choose.
 
I think what you're really looking for is MKVtools. It will take your MKV files and demux them, convert the audio to AAC and remux all without re-encoding your video! It literally takes about 10 minutes for a full length movie on my macpro.
It will also handle subtitles, but I havent messed with that feature in length.

guklein doesn't like MKVTools, as it results in audio problems. Maybe you can help with that?
 
Seems like you are stealing the content anyway, so you might as well download the Apple TV compatible version.
