AVI and MKV files are multimedia CONTAINER files. As long as the converter you use keeps all settings for the output file the same as the input file, there should be no loss of quality. This should give the effect of just shifting the container file itself while not messing with the codecs or their settings.

using a good converter such as total video converter and changing settings for mkv to match settings for your avi file will give you a same quality result……

The best way to keep the video and audio quality, is muxing the video..
How to do this: Use Megui! One of the best software out there that uses different scripting… Although it may be a little difficult for beginners, try to experiment.. (I have about 1 year that I work with muxing and I can’t call myself a professional, yet..)
You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/megui/

Also search @Youtube for different video tutorials!
Great for both normal video encoding & animation video…

check the media info of your file ,note the bit rate ,frame rates, and other details then use a video converter of your choice (any will do) while converting be sure to match the frame rates ,bitrates and other details with the original file … but remember avi will take a lot of space ,just play with the advance settings to get the best results
