I extracted the .h264 and .aac files from a .mp4 file and thought I could mux them to an avi with this avi muxer I have but apparently I can't do that. What do I need to do with a .h264 file to get it able to be muxed into an .avi? Or do I need to convert it to some other format first?
Now, I have downloaded a number of free video conversion programs that were listed in the video converison forum on how to convert .mp4 to .avi xvid/dvix, so I probably don't need to know what to do with a .h264 file. However just for future reference, what does one do with a raw .h264 file extracted from .mp4 to get it into a .avi file with aac or mp3 as audio?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

.h264 is not completely compatible in .avi container. You get B-frame lag (if it was encoded with B-frames), and will experience playback problems on many players
Use YAMB to put it into a .mp4 container, or mkvmergegui to put it in a .mkv container
If you must use an .avi container (WHY?), you should probably re-encode it without B-frames (you will lose quality since it's a lossy codec) -
If you're playing on a PC, you don't need to convert. VLC can play MP4 files fine. If you have a standalone DVD player that supports Divx/Xvid, it still won't play the file even if you could get it in an AVI container. AAC audio is also bad for standalone DVD players.
You can convert to Divx (I guess this is what you really mean by "AVI") with various tools such as AutoGK and Dr. Divx. -
