Here, we are going to review the process of converting the videos from MKV to AVI format, using Movavi Video Converter. But first, let’s understand more about MKV and AVI media formats.
The first thing that you should know about MKV file format is that it is not an encoding format but, a container file. MKV stands for Matroska Multimedia Container. You can store audio and video files in MKV. MKV file format is mainly known for its compatibility with high-end devices which means that you can run these files on Blu-ray Players, Sharp LED/LCD TVs, etc. Also, these files consume more space as compared to AVI file format.
Where else, AVI is a video format which is developed by Microsoft. Even this format can contain audio as well as video files. But, they consume less space on your hard disc than MKV to AVI file format does!

To download Movavi Video Converter on my Windows PC, all I had to do was click on the ‘Download for Free’ option, and the EXE file started to download.
Once the EXE file was downloaded, I could easily install it by double-clicking on the downloaded EXE file. Once installed, I was asked to install the latest drivers and download software OpenGL implementation. However, it was totally optional and not compulsory. This software was running on my PC even though I neglected the download suggestions.
To convert a file from MKV to AVI format, the steps involved are quite simple to understand and execute.
Step 1- Launch ‘Movavi Video Converter‘ on your PC/Mac.
Step 2- Click on ‘Add Media’ in the top right corner of your screen and select whether you wish to add video or audio files. And then, search for your file from the dialog box which appears on your screen. The file must be in MKV format.

Since I have a decent hardware on my PC, it took about 10 to 15 seconds to convert a video of 25MB from MKV to AVI format. Also, I was able to convert more than 1 file at a time. However, this software is free to download but is free to use only for a 7-days trial period. After your trial period expires, you have to purchase the activation key. The lifetime subscription of this software for personal use starts from $39.95 and for business, purpose starts from $59.95.
If you are using the trial version, then a watermark of this video editor will be visible on your converted video for the first 10 seconds. You need to purchase the activation key to get rid of this watermark. What I liked about Movavi Video Converter is that it is not a bulky converter.
