Open AVI in goldwave and save as wav file
http://www.goldwave.com/


VirtualDub will also do this, goldwave is just a great audio tool to
have around

I tried VirtualDub. Finding the Direct Stream Copy Mode took me a little
while, but it seems to be snugged into a different menu, am I correct?
Either way the audio came out the same, with the same size, and as
VirtualDub warned me when I opened the file, the audio and video became
off-set after some time.

But got the problem fixed now (not using VirtualDub, though, see my later
post).
