This is kinda tricky I gotta say...
First you need to rip subtitles from mkv through mkvmerge GUI, then convert mkv to avi for example through Any Video Converter and then make a hardsub through AVI ReComp.
That's how I do hardsubs so it's not rule, it's just my advice :)

Why would you want to do that to begin with? Softsubs and MKVs are both better and you'd be degrading the video quality by burning in subs and transcoding to be compatible with outaded AVI.
VNs are superior to anime, don't @ me

I tried getting mkvmerge GUI but I couldn't figure out how to work.

I want to be able to put the videos on my iPod.

iPods can't handle H.264 MP4? That's just silly.

And I think he meant rip the subs using mkvextract. mmg is for muxing, not demuxing.

Burn them in with a video editing program that understands mkv. There are a bunch; I use avidemux but it's glitchy.
