You will probably need to use something like ffmpeg to transcode the
audio into something useful for audacity. (Audacity only uses
uncompressed PCM type wave, and mp3 if you have the lame library
installed... but don't use mp3 in audacity... it works in uncompressed
format internally anyways, so it transcodes it each time you open or
save it.)

ffmpeg is pretty easy to use from the command line. This is from
memory, but something as simple as:

ffmpeg -i mymovie.avi mymovie-audio.wav

should work.
