Why is the benefit to removing the container here?

  I've been using an FFmprovisr command:

The extra audio stream in your source is probably just a duplicate of the
pcm stream that is interleaved in your DV stream. You might have to double
check that.
Anyhow DV most likely can't store an extra audio channel as you're just
demuxing the DV stream itself. You'll need to use a container or just leave
the Avi file as Kato retain that I'd imagine.
