Used it for months always worked for me, There may be better options though.

for simplicity nero will do it

I use it to mkv movies to mpeg only way windows 8 allows you to stream straight to tv unless feeding through a tablet

there will prob be more efficient programs tho you will be able to loa dall your files into it

MKV is a container. Like a zip files, it has store video and audio in it. You can extract files from MKV and then edit them.

get MKVtoolnix http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtool...
then MKVextractGUI from http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVExtrac...

After that copy MKVextractGUi files into MKVtoolnix folder, then run MKV extractGUI from the flder, select your MKV file. In a box it will show what the file contains such as video audio or subtitles.

Select what you want, and hit extract. If the video you extracted is in AVI or MPEG, you can edit them in SV. If it's h264 or something that SV won't understand, get a converter accordingly.

If all's done, you can put the edited files and back in MKV with MKVtoolnix if you want.
