Converting .mkv to .avi and changing resolution with MEncoder

Matroska (.mkv) videos invariably run slow on basically any program I'm trying to run them on, regardless of OS. Here's how I'm converting them to AVI's with MEncoder on Ubuntu 10.10 (MEncoder had to be added):

mencoder -oac copy -ovc xvid -xy 320 -xvidencopts bitrate=450 -o output.avi input.mkv
