Matroska (mkv) is not a codec (like MPEG-1, XviD, DivX, or VP3), but a container (like OGM) where you can
put video(s) + audio(s) + sub(s). Supported audio formats include Ogg Vorbis, AAC, MP3, and AC3
I wrote this before my tea but never posted it but I now see you know what you have (an headache well I did), these files may be smaller and better (according to one source) but I found it a real pain and still haven't found a way to get them to an avi.

This program is an *.avi to uncompressed PCM audio *.avi converter. It accepts an input avi which has both audio and video, and if the audio is compressed, decompresses it to PCM. The video remains unchanged. Whatever format the video portion is in remains untouched. If the input avi audio is not compressed, the audio remains unchanged.
This didn't work for me either but its great if you have an AC3 to take it down to a normal mp3 with VirtualDub.
