I have an MKV file that contains:
video: MPEG-1/2
audio: three different tracks, all AC-3.
How do I extract the video and one of those AC3 tracks out of the MKV file without re-encoding the quality? I have tried MKVToolNix GUI and deselecting the two unwanted AC3 tracks, but I just end up with another MKV file. I want the result to be .mpg and .ac3. How do I achieve that? Please tell me step by step how.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

You could use mkvextract, preferably with a GUI.
But the program will give you only an elementary stream (a .m2v file).
So you should use ffmpeg for remuxing, i.e., for creating a .mpg file. If you don't like the command-line interface, there exists a Clever FFMPEG-GUI."Programmers are human-shaped machines that transform alcohol into bugs." -
Thank you for replying. I followed your instructions, but there is no MPEG 2 PS Muxer in the Video Output dropdown menu. There is one called Mpeg2 (ff). And what should I choose in Output Format? The choices are: AVI Muxer, Dummy Muxer, FLV Muxer, MKV Muxer, MOV Muxer, MP4 Muxer, MP4v2 Muxer, Mpeg TS Muxer (ff), Mpeg-PS Muxer( ff), Video Only, WebM Muxer.

What do I click on in Clever FFMPEG-GUI to demux it to Mpeg2? Sorry, I'm dumb.

I meant "Output Format". As per my diagram, set Output Format to "MPEG2 PS Muxer". The Video and Audio Outputs should be on "Copy". -
With Inviska it outputs what ever the track format is within the MKV container - no selecting or any other fiddling about with command lines. Just select the track you want to extract and away you go, takes about 3 minutes. You can do batch extracts if need be etc etc.

Alternatively if you want a easier to use method with batch functionality I would go InviskaMKVExtract.
