Test to see if you can play the file in Windows Media Player at all. Then feed it into Windows Media Encoder (preferred) or Movie Maker. (You can get Windows Media Encoder here. Click on Windows Media Encoder in the first drop-down menu.) These should read and convert just fine. I don’t know what happens in the situation of multiple audio streams though.
A second solution uses two steps. You can get VirtualDubMod. Open your OGM file, and pick file, save as. You should be able to pick Direct Stream Copy for Video, and if there are multiple audio tracks, select a specific one (or deleted the unwanted one(s)) (it may be under Streams, not save - I don’t quite remember). Then save as AVI. One caveat about VirtualDubMod: it’s kind of old, and it’s based on VirtualDub, which does not support VBR audio very well. You could get desynchronized audio when working with it. (Most full-length movies nowadays are made with NanDub, which is a variant of VirtualDub with support for VBR audio, and multiple audio streams in AVI). If you do get desynchronized audio (easy way to check is play video towards the end), perhaps you may need a full recompression of the audio stream. I suggest MP3 audio for simplicity.
Once you get the AVI, feed it into Windows Media Encoder or Movie Maker as above.
There’s other, more convoluted ways... for example use OggDS, then convert to MPEG-1 using TMPGEnc, then feed the output into WME or WMM.
