Unhappy Demuxing/Encoding .pmf (PSP) video files

Now, I know these are Linux tools, but im using Windows 2000. Also, this is my first time using mplayer and mencoder (normally I use vdub mod).

Ok, this one is driving me crazy, im trying to encode the intro of a PSP game, I got the video file off the disk but I am having trouble converting it.

It appears to be a h264 video stream and an (by my best guess) ATRAC3 audio stream (AAAARRRGGGHHH) muxed within some type of modified mpeg-2 container.

Using mplayer I was able to attempt to dump the video data successfully, problem is it was dumped as a raw h264 stream. I have tried my best to mess around with mencoder and try to put it in an avi container, but while it works if I use raw output or re-encode, it dosent work if I just attempt to put the raw stream into an AVI container. The original h264 quality is already pretty much perfect and the filesize is decent as well, how can I just put this stream into an avi container? I don't want to re-encode it.

As for the audio, I am COMPLETELY clueless. To be honest, im not even 100% sure if it is AC3, or if it is that its being extracted correctly. I have had problems like this before with the PS2's MPEG-2 format (.pss) where video streams werent a problem to extract but audio was a real pain. Regardless, nothing I tried seems to be able to play it or even analyze it, and mplayer crashes attempting to play the muxed version, but has no trouble palying the video if I extract it, audio it can't even touch however.
