best method to convert mkv into TV playable format

[ironfreak]

I've dozens of .mkv motion pictures i.e those HD ripped.... Which is best among this is the best format to play on TV-

MP4 (i think recognized by X360 right?)
AVI (DivX or anything else)

Which of the above will best maintain the quality of the native ?

And which software programs to use ?
(For video and also for 5.1 ch audio)

Thanks

FAVC generally works and produces great results. If it chokes, extract and repack the mkv with just the video and audio and try again.

ConvertXtoDVD will convert pretty much any MKV faster than FAVC, but at an arguably lower quality.

Both will do it much faster than tmpgenc.
