Shouldn't be any problem extracting he aac with mkvextract. What exactly have you tried?

If you are planning on re-encoding the audio anyway I would suggest mplayer to decode to wav. Just use -aid 0/1 or -alang eng/jap to specify the audio you want.

well i have tried quite a few of the guides here Baldrick's guide "How to convert matroska MKV to AVI or OGM to AVI" ,NightScream's guide "How to convert MKV to MPG (VCD,SVCD or DVD)" and quite a few others guides that make use of tools like VirtualdubMOD,MKVtoolnix, BeSweet but all of them fail to extract out the audio file

I have manage to extract the audio with MKVextractGUI the resulting file is a ACC file how do i continue from here?? do i extract the subtitle also??

[celtic_druid]

Do you want the subtitles?
You can remux the aac audio to avi using AVIMuxGUI.

Were you able to demux the video also?

Are you looking to convert the AAC audio to somethign else? Do you have an AAC codec installed? Try installing ffdshow and enabling its AAC decoding.

Does the quality get reduced when you convert?

Does the quality get reduced when you convert?

The quality doesn't get any better. How much worse it gets depends on what codec you convert to and what settings you use.

I have already extract out the video,audio and subtitle using MKVextractGUI and converting the ACC audio to .wav using dBpowerAMP then i manage to encode the video and audio together into mpeg using TMPGEnc it play very in window media player but now how can i add the subitle back to the video?

Maybe he has a set-top player that doesn't support MKV.

Most likely. Why don't folks leave them as Xvid or Divx
