I am trying to convert and transfer coins from my ether wallet to my bitcoin wallet. This is functionality that MyEtherWallet provides. But that's not my question. I am asking about bitcoin address different format representation and how to convert from one format to another REGARDLESS my ether wallet.

MyEtherWallet is a wallet for ETH/ETC and ERC20 tokens. You can't send   coins from MEW to a Bitcoin wallet. Or are you asking for something else?

You should rephrase your question then, there is a big difference between send and exchange.
