about the only program that does this well is a program called Riverpast Video Cleaner, and it ain't free.

There is a free program called Virtualdub, but that program can't handle variable bitrate MKV/OGM files, which most Anime groups encode too.

VirtualDubMod Hompage

File-> open and choose the MKV
then file-> save as choose avi from then file type and set video mode to direct stream copy.

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.
