demux audio, remux video only mkv to video only mkv, decode audio to wav, re-encode back to aac, re-encode video again with x264, then start again but with mp3/xvid??? Makes no real sense. If your aim is DVD, why are you converting to avi anyway? You should be converting to MPEG-2/AC3. Looks like maybe there is a problem with the AVISynth scripts.
Can your MKV file be perfectly played (especially on Windows Media Player? If possible, you may reinstall the latest matroska pack from http://packs.matroska.org/ to have a try. Btw, have you ever tried Winavi? If not, you'd better download a free trial version to try.
