"First off does it loss any quality?"
Yes
"second is there a good MKV to WMV converter?"
Doubt it WMV is not a very widely used format these days.
You cn however get ConverXtoDVD which will make it into, and burn it to a DVD if you have a DVD burner on your PC.

It does not lose quality.
Newer version of Windows Movie maker with the MKV codecs installed will let you import the movie, and publish it as an HD-WMV, the size should be about the same and the quality is identicle.
It's more widely used than MKV that is for sure, or I should say, more widely supported, an HD-WMV will play on most any HD video streamer, while practically nothing plays MKV's.

I have vista and windows movie maker but it wont let me import the MKV files. WMM dont support MKV files. Can anyone just give me like a list of what i need to download or do to get these MKV files to WMV? I am pretty new at this so the easier the better. Thanks

I know how you feel. There is so much junk out there. I only settle for freebies, as I discovered that for almost any project, there is a free tool that does the job( and I mean freeware, not free as in pirated:)!).
If you want to convert to DVD format, DVD Flick is a great free program, and if you have subs, it will take care of them also;supports many input formats:

There is no way to take out the hardcoded subs once you convert to wmv.You can remove the subtitles from the MKV file before conversion.
Which program did you use?

If you have an AVi, WMV...file with embedded subtitles, they cannot be removed. The only time you have an option is if the wmv file comest with a separate subs file, ten you have the option to play it or not.

Are you sure you put on the disc the WMV file and not the MKV? they probably have the same name, just different extension.

If you use Super instead, it has options for converting to higher bitrate , wich will output higher quality. The higher, the better.
Having a HD file, I would use Flick and convert to DVD. Set to "high Quality"-2 pass and you should get an excellent DVD.

You might be wasting your trying remuxing (extract the stream from MKV and packaging them as AVI or MP4). I have a 360 too and its very stingy about what it will play when it comes to H.264. The file must be made using a profile. Alot of torrent encoders don't pay attention to profiles and just use whatever settings and tweaks to get the best quality. If you're watching on a PC thats cool cuz a PC can play anything. But your 360 will laugh at the video stream and only play the audio.
I don't know of any tool that will let you analyze a video stream to see if its in profile or not. I've got alot of anime thats made from HD broadcast and none of it will work when I remux to MP4. It plays perfect on the PC, but my X-Box only gives me audio.
