It is possible to convert file types with "Total Video Converter" in windows but i dont know a program for this in Ubuntu. Any ideas please ?

Hi simartem,

If you are comfortable with the commandline you might have a look at this excellent guide:

HOWTO: Install and use the latest FFmpeg and x264

and simply alter the output file to .mkv

All the best,
