You will need to download the codec for the file format before you can convert it. The problem is that the file will be a derivative of mpeg4, of which there are a vast number of variations. This makes it difficult at times to decide which codec is the correct one. I would suggest either playing it in Windows Media Player, which should prompt you to download the codec, or install a codec pack which should encompass most formats.

Maybe your AVI is a DivX AVI or a XviD AVI, you cannot tell which is which actually here, and since MM refuses already. Better download the required codec. I would suggest Free Combine Community Codec Pack, this incude codec for MKV and it has Zoom amd Classic Multimedia player.
