First off I would try winff - it is in the repositories - just search for it in synaptic (Menu | System Tools | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager). You will be asked for your user password before synaptic will launch.

I have used WinFF on this file and it transcodes it but the sound s all out of synk
WINN FF is great software for mp4 to avi , but not MKV/AVI
