Don't know about the converter, but to play mkv files get VLC Media Player. Its better than any of the shit players people like microsoft feed you ;)

Hi, instead of converting a .mkv file why not just extract the orginal file format out of the .mkv file with the mkv2vob program
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/mkv2vob I use Mediaplayer Classic instead of VLC

I don't personally like the VLC but but i can play .mkv with Mediaplayer Classic, (you might need a codec pack to play it) but you can choose what program you want to use. (if you do want to really convert the format to .avi) from a .mkv look for any video converter on google lot's to choose from.
