TMPGEnc works well if you want to change it to mpg. It's not officially made for converting mkv/ogm but it still works for those formats (just select all file types when opening a file). It will use the first audio stream in the mkv/ogm when there are multiples. It can also hardencode subtitles if you have the subtitles in a seperate file with the same name, example: filename.mkv and filename.asf and the necessary codec(s) to show them (I use ffdshow video decoder for this)

Theres also a nifty tool called mkvmerge which can allow you to select each seperate stream from an mkv file to save to a seperate file. Basically you can take out (or insert) whichever video/audio/subtitle streams you want.
